Looking at the implementation in boost 1.57, it looks like a file is used on
Windows for named_mutex (see windows_named_sync::open_or_create(...)). 

I didn't see any alternatives for named_mutex on Windows that would allow
you to use actual shared memory with no files...

using windows shared memory

For boost interprocess shared memory, I can choose to use windows specific
shared memory so that no files are created to emulate the functionality. Is
there any way to do this with named_mutexes and named_conditions?

Thanks,
