Boost.Interprocess simplifies the use of common interprocess communication and synchronization mechanisms and offers a wide range of them:
Boost.Interprocess also offers higher-level interprocess mechanisms to allocate dynamically portions of a shared memory or a memory mapped file (in general, to allocate portions of a fixed size memory segment). Using these mechanisms, Boost.Interprocess offers useful tools to construct C++ objects, including STL-like containers, in shared memory and memory mapped files:
There is no need to compile Boost.Interprocess, since it's a header only library. Just include your Boost header directory in your compiler include path.
Boost.Interprocess depends on Boost.DateTime, which needs separate compilation.
However, the subset used by Boost.Interprocess
does not need any separate compilation so the user can define BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB
to avoid Boost from
trying to automatically link the Boost.DateTime.
Boost.Interprocess has been tested in the following compilers/platforms:
