Re: [Boost-users] [interprocess] shared memory containing a vector of unions of strings/integers/doubles

OK, let me ask a simpler question:

If I have a structure S which contains a shared memory allocator, can that
structure be safely stored in shared memory? (e.g. if I construct S in one
process, use the memory allocator to construct some other pointer p in
shared memory, then locate S in another process and use the memory allocator
to destroy pointer p, will that work properly, or have I invited Disaster?)
