Boost interprocess string without shared memory
So, this question is linked to a previous one (std::string without copying from char*).

Can I rewrite this boost interprocess set of typedefs and avoid the name length exceeded warning in vc 2008?
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…

What is the correct way to dispose of a C++ object created with boost::interprocess STL compatible shared memory allocators?
I'm a little confused about Boost::interprocess shared memory and deallocation.

Boost interprocess message_queue has non const get_num_msg(). Why?
In boost 1.53 the message_queue_t has this member function:
size_type get_num_msg();
This returns the number of messages currently stored. Never throws. I don't see any reason why this can't be const.

I'm using boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory for interprocess communication. In order to grow/shrink, the shared memory must be unmapped in every process using it. Given I have a two threads, how is this done?
As far as I searched the boost…
