Thanks so much for a great C++ library, <br><br>Last night I read the complete archive looking for some tidbits of info 
to help me figure out how to move forward with a decision of the 
appropriate approach.  I am fairly new to boost so I am hoping someone 
has some advice for my situation.<br>
<br>
I am trying to share instances of a c++ class that is auto-generated 
from xml schema. I am trying to hand this class off from a dll that a 
web service engine loads to another application for processing. <br>
This class is an in-memory implementation of the class and contains 
several objects which contain a lot of native stl c++ strings as well as
 other primitive types. I was hoping to use boosts circular buffer in 
shared memory, but began prototyping with a vector it and researching 
and I realized that the strings put in shared memory must use the 
basic_string construct. Having some concern about going through all of 
the auto generated code to change all of these types and concern over 
what affect that might have on the dll &amp; service engine operation.  I&#39;ve seen some examples using shared memory that use the void allocator and thought maybe that is what I need to do, however I keep getting back to the fact that I&#39;ve got a bunch of strings in this composite class and I don&#39;t know if that is torpedoing my attempts.<br>

<br>
I&#39;ve seen there are many interprocess constructs, memory mapped regions,
 shared_ptrs and message ques etc. I also recently got to thinking that 
perhaps I should look at boost serialize to deal with the strings. I 
didn&#39;t want to leave the boost interprocess approach if there was some 
way to exchange instances of this class correctly using one of boost 
interprocess constructs.<br>
<br>
What I am hoping is that some could chime in with suggestions on 
different ways to use boost to achieve this and I&#39;ll try and go off and 
research it.<br><br>Your input is greatly appreciated!<br>
