Comment (by igaztanaga):

 Replying to [comment:13 xijing dai <dxj19831029@…>]:
 > here is the code:

 The patch is not about making all interprocess classes workable between 32
 and 64 bit applications. Is about customizing offset_ptr and propagate its
 attributes (size_type, difference_type, etc..) so that that this *could*
 be possible, of course depending on the compiler ABI of 32/64 bit
 applications. The patch is experimental, so it won't be documented and
 made official until it gets some real-application experience.

 Regarding message_queue, it is a bug that it does not work between 32 and
 64 bit applications. I should change queue internals to make internal
 types fixed length. It's in my to-do list but i haven't found time to
 implement it.
