<HR WIDTH="100%">
Before we move on to shmem.h, I want to show a different approach. In
this new client/server pair, I use placement new to stuff an object
(instead of a blob of bytes) into the shared memory segment.
<P>
There are a few caveats to putting objects into shared memory. The
most important ones all deal with pointers:
<ul>
<li>Be sure your pointers point into the shared memory and not
local process memory.
<li>Only in very special cases will objects with virtual methods
work (because of the VTable pointers).
</ul>
<P>
That's not to say you shouldn't try... Just try carefully and test a lot!
