> The patch is not about making all interprocess classes workable between
 32 and 64 bit applications. Is about customizing offset_ptr and propagate
 its attributes (size_type, difference_type, etc..) so that that this
 *could* be possible, of course depending on the compiler ABI of 32/64 bit
 applications. The patch is experimental, so it won't be documented and
 made official until it gets some real-application experience.

 got u!

 which class have u tested? let me check if I can replace with them.

 otherwise, I am not sure if we could wait for next boost release, I need
 to think some backup plans. :)
