In the Boost::Interprocess documentation and under the heading “Where is this being allocated?”; is an example of how to create a vector of strings in a managed_shared_memory segment.
Link to Boost::Interprocess documentation here:
Please could this example be extended to demonstrate;
1. How to add string elements to the shared memory vector from a different process?
2. How to access and copy strings from the shared memory vector from a different process?
This really would be invaluable to people trying to use Boost::Interprocess for the first time! My particular project has ground to a halt for over a month simply trying to get a working implementation of a Boost::Interprocess mutex synchronised shared memory vector of strings. I would like one process to add strings to the shared memory vector and several other processes to read string data from the vector. Right now I don’t know if I’ll ever get it to work! Running out of ideas here!
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
