IPC shared memory with a linked list or a hash table

[Pedro Dinis]

currently i am using a struct but everyone is changing the configuration file and i have to change the code every time.

i am now investigating a way to use shared memory with a hash table.

i have tried with a map but the process dies when i am writing the map to the memory segment without leaving a note.

thanks

As I mentioned before, you need to change the container allocator to put its memory into your shared memory area.

Once you get the allocator written, you can use it with any STL container.
