Once I have addr pointer, I am using memcpy to write in SHM.
You shouldn't pass raw pointers to another application, usually pointers are only valid inside a process and invalid outside it. Only the distance between the start of the shared memory and an address inside that shared memory is common for both processes. Boost.Interprocess is not prepared to be used from a C application. Maybe you can try the following: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/interprocess/managed_memory_se... Take an address of an position in shared memory in application 1 and call get_handle_from_address. Then pass the handle (usually of type size_t, an unsigned integer) using something like pipes or message queues, or a well-known shared memory address so that process 2 can access to it. Then the C application can map the shared memory, and add the base address of that shared memory, add the given handle/offset, and obtain the address of the wanted position in the shared memory for the second process. In any case the code you've posted is invalid. Ion
