Hi,

In 1.53 documentation it is said:
The boost.lockfree data structures have basic support for
Boost.Interprocess. The only problem is the blocking emulation of
lock-free atomics, which in the current implementation is not
guaranteed to be interprocess-safe.

What does that and interprocess-safety exactly mean?

Is it possible to use an interprocess allocator (e.g. allocator<int,
managed_shared_memory::segment_manager>) together with
lockfree::queue? Or shall I expect unexpected behaviour?

Thanks,
Gabor
