[shmem] New Shmem snapshot ready in Boost Files section
Hello to all, I've just uploaded a new version of Shmem library (removed Boost from name because of the new naming policy) to Boost Files (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/), which includes built html help files. Snapshot file: Shmem.2005-03-06.tar.bz2. Changes and features from last version: -> Name changes. -> Improved compatibility with unordered_map/set family. Soon we will be able to place unordered containers in shared memory. Thanks, Daniel. -> Templatized index types for named shared memory object allocator -> New private segregated storage STL allocator for shared memory. -> Bug fixes -> Improved documentation and code comments. For the next version I plan to improve code comments, documentation and tests. Please, if there is any comment or suggestion, let me know. Regards, /Ion

Is this anywhere I can get this other than on "yahoo"? There was an earlier version (boost.shmem.2005-02-07.tar.gz) in the vault (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/), but it appears to have disappeared... can you put the new one there? I've been using the earlier version in my current project. I'd like to test it with your new version. Anyone who wants to use my library will need yours too.

If you're going to be working on the documentation, you might want to take a look at QuickBook. AFAIK, one thing still missing (I've seen it occasional requests, but not much response) in boost is a portable interface to atomic integer-ish manipulation. There's some support for atomics in detail/atomic_count*.hpp, but no compare&exchange. I would think that this is pretty important for lock-free shared data structures, which can be very good things to have. Anything like this in your new version? What platforms are you able to test on? - james -- __________________________________________________________ James Fowler, Open Sea Consulting http://www.OpenSeaConsulting.com, Marietta, Georgia, USA Do C++ Right. http://www.OpenCpp.org, opening soon!
