allocation_type does not exist, it must be any shared memory allocator 
of type char.

-> boost::interprocess::CharAllocator is not anything declared in 
namespace boost::interprocess. Try with just tCharAllocator.

In short: it's the same as vector<char>, but with an extra second 
parameter with type std::char_traits<char>.
