Is this warning about name length always harmless? If not, how do I know if I'm in trouble?
One lovely thing in C++ type manging is when name length is exceeded. The linked question shows how to turn it off. I am using Visual C++ 2008 with Boost 1.53.
However as this is the first time I have encountered this templated and typedef type name limit being reached, and I am using Visual C++ 2008, I want to make sure I am not making a mistake or doing something that could be avoided.
Here are my typedefs:
// second half of the value type's std::pair is a struct:
typedef struct _DATA_AREA_DESC
{
// stuff in here doesn't matter, omitted.
} AreaMappedType;
// key for the map is a string. need to define the type and its allocator. std::string is not suitable on this compiler+standard-library implementation (VC++2008)
typedef boost::interprocess::allocator<char, boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> CharAllocator;
typedef boost::interprocess::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, CharAllocator> AreaKeyType;
// AreaMap is a map<AreaKeyType,AreaMappedType>
typedef std::pair<const AreaKeyType, AreaMappedType> AreaValueType;
typedef boost::interprocess::allocator<AreaValueType, boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> AreaShmemAllocator;
typedef boost::interprocess::map<AreaKeyType, AreaMappedType, std::less<AreaKeyType>, AreaShmemAllocator> AreaMap;
A snippet of the disgustingly long, unreadable warning details text:

Could this be fixed? Did I make a rookie mistake?
