Hello Martin,

  offset_ptr can be used in stack/heap if you want, You can use basic 
allocation algorithms in any memory. I don't know if any component is too 
tied with shared memory to use it in a message buffer. Please, write me 
explaining your case with a bigger picture and what do you really want from 
the framework (I mean STL allocators? Just buffer management algorithms?, 
etc... ). I will be glad to explain if you can use it and if it is useful 
and it is not possible right now, I could add it to the library.

Regards,

Ion
