Hello to all, I'm announcing a new version of Boost.Shmem library. The file is in Boost Files section (Boost.Shmem.2005.01.04.zip). After some months working with other people from boost, the library has suffered some serious rework. First of all, all documentation has been ported to BoostBook format and can be built with bjam --v2 from doc directory. It has been a hard work to port from word format to boostbook, but now, the boostbook format is much nicer. Please, this is the first rough version of the documentation, so I would be glad to receive feedback about this. Regarding to library, new features have been added: -> Shared memory mapping to fixed addresses -> Templatized mutex types, so that different locking mechanisms can be used indepently from the framework -> Templatized shared memory allocation algorithm, so that the framework can be expanded with new allocation algorithms. -> Templatized pointer types in shared memory STL allocator, so that the pointer type is independent from the framework. This allows using all STL implementations with the framework if the memory is mapped in the same address in different processes. -> Use of boost preprocessor to implement a new, wider, more clear calling syntax. See documentation to see more details. -> New relative pointer types, to balance pointer size, pointed object range, etc... There are many new features in the library but I wanted to mantain this announcement short. The library has been tested in Visual C++ .NET 2003 and gcc 3.4.3 in Suse 9.2 Linux. Please, feel free to report any comment, bug or idea. Regards, Ion
