Comment:

 What you are trying to achieve is simply not possible. To share classes
 between processes, the ABI of the compiler must be exactly the same, just
 when dumping structures or classes to files. Compiling vector or string in
 32 bit or 64 bit mode changes radically the ABI (class sizes, integers
 widths, pointers...).
