[Boost-users] boost::interprocess::managed_mapped_file filename

Hi,

Unfortunately wmanaged_mapped_file constructors use char instead of wchar for the filename. This causes big problems on windows where %appdata% and %localappdata% include the user name which may include Unicode characters that after conversion result in the windows ‘A’ methods failing to find the referenced file.
I don’t know of any work around except using Unicode filenames.

Does anyone know of a way around this.
Are there any plans of making wmanaged_mapped_file use wchar for the filenames?

Markus
