Subject: [Boost-users] [interprocess] shared_memory_object design

Hi there, a colleague of mine is questioning the design decisions in
the shared_memory_object class. The assignment operator and copy
constructor are private. Why? Also the constructor takes a type
instead of a value as the first parameter. In his eyes it makes it
very inflexible since the creation of or attaching to shared_memory
area has to known at compile time.
A few pointers on why such a design was chosen would be very helpful.
Regards,
Christian
