I want to communicate between different platforms using boost interprocess.
I am using vc12 and boost 1.58 on windows 7.
My code below is a very simple example, that should work. But it doesn't for communications between different platforms...
If I create it in x64 and open in win32, the process stuck at a lock at function try_based_lock in boost/int/sync/detail/common_algorithms.hpp
In the other way around: win32 create, x64 open: the process crashes at name_length in segment_manager_helper.hpp while trying to find the name in index (priv_generic_find in segment_manager).
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp>
int main() {
namespace bip = boost::interprocess;
// open in WIN32, create in x64
#ifdef _WIN32
bip::managed_shared_memory msm(bip::open_only, "TestIPC");
#elsif X64
bip::shared_memory_object::remove("TestIPC");
bip::managed_shared_memory msm(bip::create_only, "TestIPC", 4096);
msm.construct<uint32_t>("Data")[1](10);
#endif
// Get Data and print it
auto data = msm.find<uint32_t>("Data");
if (data.second == 1) {
std::cout << *data.first << std::endl;
}
std::cin.ignore();
return 0;
}
Does anybody have experience in this? Thank you in advance!
