------- Additional Comments From mronell at alumni dot upenn dot edu 2005-04-28 01:32 ------- "Plain Old Data" unfortunately is not a good solution in my case. I maintain http://allocator.sourceforge.net which provides an open-source shared memory allocator for the C++ Standard Template Library. This allocator has worked with earlier versions of gcc/g++, but it depends on being able to instantiate objects successfully in shared memory allowing multiple processes to access the same objects. Localized vtable pointers would cause problems.
I have a new version of the allocator revised based on Knuth's Dynamic Memory Storage algorithm from his Vol. 1. Its similar to Doug Lea's malloc. However, as before, my approach depends on being able to place and share C++ objects through shared memory. Its that still possible? Am I missing some esoteric compiler flags? Is this a bug or future feature request? Thanks for your suggestions and input. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21251
