Re: [boost] C++ - STL hash map & Shared memory between 2 unrelated, arbit rary processes

Dear Sir,
Thanks for this guidance.
I downloaded boost src code (boost_1_33_1.tar.gz) as well as Boost.Interprocess (interprocess.2006-08-04.zip) from boost site.
May you please guide me about following doubts?

1) Are these two separate source code or I need to compile Boost.Interprocess along with boost_1_33_1?
2) Does this compile on Solaris 8 & RHEL3 as well?

Thanks and Regards,
Ganesh B.

The hash map containers that were being developed by Daniel James (take a look at Vault/Containers) used to be shared memory friendly (I mean, compatible with Boost.Interprocess). I haven't tested them recently, though.

To share containers between two unrelated processes please see Boost.Interprocess (currently in the CVS, and BoostVault/Concurrent Programming). Online docs here:
