Hi, i just started using boost interprocess for giving shared memory access to one of my program to the debugger. It is just superb! but as usual there are a few questions and clarifications, 1) can i find any document saying which of the stl containers are "shared memory safe" so that i dont need to use the special one provided ? esp which of the stl containers from msvc 7.1 (2003) are shmm safe . 2) how can i make my hand crafted container shmm compatible ? I take allocater as param, pointer & ref are typedef from allocater, all construct & destroy are done using allocator.

thanks again for the wonderful library abir

I successfully loaded my container in the shared memory after a little modification. It seems allocator.hpp doesnt have a construct method which takes a value type. So i changed it to void construct(const pointer &ptr,const value_type& value = value_type()) however i failed to use std::vector with shared memory. There is another concern, can i use polymorphic class in shamm ? i.e whether vtable and rtti info will be in shamm for th object also ... thanks abir

I don't know any STL implementation that is safe to be used with shared memory. msvc-7.1 ones were "close" but I got some compilation errors.
