Shared memory (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">shared_memory_object</span></code>)
is implemented in Windows using memory mapped files, placed in a shared
directory in the shared documents folder (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">SOFTWARE</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">Microsoft</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">Windows</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">CurrentVersion</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">Explorer</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">Shell</span> <span class="identifier">Folders</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">Common</span> <span class="identifier">AppData</span></code>).
This directory name is the last bootup time obtained via COM calls (if
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_BOOTSTAMP_IS_LASTBOOTUPTIME</span></code>)
defined or searching the system log for a startup event (the default implementation),
so that each bootup shared memory is created in a new folder obtaining
kernel persistence shared memory.
</p>
<p>
If using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_BOOTSTAMP_IS_LASTBOOTUPTIME</span></code>,
due to COM implementation related errors, in Boost 1.48 &amp; Boost 1.49
the bootup-time folder was dumped and files were directly created in shared
documents folder, reverting to filesystem persistence shared memory. Boost
1.50 fixed those issues and recovered bootup time directory and kernel
persistence. If you need to reproduce Boost 1.48 &amp; Boost 1.49 behaviour
to communicate with applications compiled with that version, comment <code class="computeroutput"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME</span></code>
directive in the Windows configuration part of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">interprocess</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">detail</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">workaround</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
If using the default implementation, (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_BOOTSTAMP_IS_LASTBOOTUPTIME</span></code>
undefined) and the Startup Event is not found, this might be due to some
buggy software that floods or erases the event log.
</p>
<p>
In any error case (shared documents folder is not defined or bootup time
could not be obtained, the library throws an error. You still can use
<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Interprocess</strong></span> defining your own directory
as the shared directory. When your shared directory is a compile-time constant,
define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_SHARED_DIR_PATH</span></code>
when using the library and that path will be used to place shared memory
files. When you have to determine the shared directory at runtime, define
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_SHARED_DIR_FUNC</span></code>

On systems without POSIX shared memory support, shared memory objects are
implemented as memory mapped files, using a directory placed in "/tmp"
that can include (if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME</span></code>
is defined) the last bootup time (if the OS supports it). As in Windows,
in any error case obtaining this directory the library throws an error
. When your shared directory is a compile-time constant, define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_SHARED_DIR_PATH</span></code> when
using the library and that path will be used to place shared memory files.
When you have to determine the shared directory at runtime, define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_INTERPROCESS_SHARED_DIR_FUNC</span></code> and
implement the function

<p>
The committed address space is the total amount of virtual memory (swap
or physical memory/RAM) that the kernel might have to supply if all applications
decide to access all of the memory they've requested from the kernel. By
default, Linux allows processes to commit more virtual memory than available
in the system. If that memory is not accessed, no physical memory + swap
is actually used.
</p>
<p>
The reason for this behaviour is that Linux tries to optimize memory usage
on forked processes; fork() creates a full copy of the process space, but
with overcommitted memory, in this new forked instance only pages which
have been written to actually need to be allocated by the kernel. If applications
access more memory than available, then the kernel must free memory in
the hard way: the OOM (Out Of Memory)-killer picks some processes to kill
in order to recover memory.
</p>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Interprocess</strong></span> has no way to change
this behaviour and users might suffer the OOM-killer when accessing shared
memory. According to the <a href="http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting" target="_top">Kernel
documentation</a>, the Linux kernel supports several overcommit modes.
If you need non-kill guarantees in your application, you should change
this overcommit behaviour.

There are some Interprocess features that I would like to implement and some

better. Let's see some ideas:

Win32 version of shared mutexes and shared conditions are based on "spin
and wait" atomic instructions. This leads to poor performance and
does not manage any issues like priority inversions. We would need very
serious help from threading experts on this. And I'm not sure that this
can be achieved in user-level software. Posix based implementations use
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED attribute to place mutexes in shared memory, so
there are no such problems. I'm not aware of any implementation that simulates
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED attribute for Win32. We should be able to construct
these primitives in memory mapped files, so that we can get filesystem
persistence just like with POSIX primitives.

Currently Interprocess only allows <span class="bold"><strong>char</strong></span>
based names for basic named objects. However, several operating systems
use <span class="bold"><strong>wchar_t</strong></span> names for resources (mapped
files, for example). In the future Interprocess should try to present a
portable narrow/wide char interface. To do this, it would be useful to
have a boost wstring &lt;-&gt; string conversion utilities to translate
resource names (escaping needed characters that can conflict with OS names)
in a portable way. It would be interesting also the use of <span class="bold"><strong>boost::filesystem</strong></span>
paths to avoid operating system specific issues.

primitives like mutexes and conditions. I would want to develop more mechanisms,
like stream-oriented named fifo so that we can use it with a iostream-interface
wrapper (we can imitate Unix pipes).

C++ needs more complex mechanisms and it would be nice to have a stream
and datagram oriented PF_UNIX-like mechanism in C++. And for very fast
inter-process remote calls Solaris doors is an interesting alternative
to implement for C++. But the work to implement PF_UNIX-like sockets and
doors would be huge (and it might be difficult in a user-level library).
Any network expert volunteer?
