Re: STL allocator for shared memory

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The problem will be that you have no control over how memory is utilized,
and more than likely an STL-allocated object will contain pointers -- when
stored in shared memory by the process that created the object these
pointer-values will be valid addresses, but not when accessed by other
processes. Pointers stored in shared-memory need to be stored as offsets
from the base of shared memory.
