  I successfully loaded my container in the shared memory after a little 
modification. It seems allocator.hpp doesnt have a construct method 
which takes a value type. So i changed it to
void construct(const pointer &ptr,const value_type& value = value_type())
however i failed to use std::vector with shared memory.

There is another concern, can i use polymorphic class in shamm ? i.e 
whether vtable and rtti info will be in shamm for th object also ...

thanks
