What was obvious to the contributors to the above discussion, but dawned on me only slowly, was that mixed bitness shared memory only stands a chance of working if ones uses offset_ptr< void , boost::int64_t , boost::uint64_t > rather than the default offset_ptr< void > (which is possible on current trunk). I've now begun testing this in my own app and it is looking promising so far. Hope this helps someone googling for the same thing. Pete
