Hi,

> To solve this, you store indexes or offsets relative to the base of the shared memory itself (or some other known field within the shared memory) instead of a "real" pointer.

I once saw a system, where pointers in shared memory were self-relative. It should be possible to wrap them in a pointer-like class.
