Thanks. Does that mean I can't even use function pointers in shared 
memory? That is, I can't even create my own manual vtable scheme:

class Base : boost::interprocess::base_class< Base* (),
                                               std::string (),
                                        void (const std::string&)  >
{
        Base* clone() const;
         std::string name() const;
         void setName( const std::string& );
};

?

Can I use boost::function in shared memory?
