XSI was supposed to be available to have a posix-like portable shared 
memory semantics for systems with only system v shared memory. However 
lack of time and portability issues froze the development. Maybe some 
class (xsi_shared_memory) is ready to be public, just like we have 
windows_shared_memory. It shouldn't be hard to implement 
managed_xsi_shared_memory. If there is interest in them I could add them 
and try posix emulation on top of XSI later.

Best,
