Shared Memory Boost IPC

Korean README

This project demonstrates inter-process communication (IPC) using shared memory with Boost.Interprocess. It provides simple reader and writer examples to show how multiple processes can exchange data efficiently via shared memory.

Features

• Shared memory communication using Boost.Interprocess
• Example writer and reader applications
• CMake-based build system
• Header-only interface for easy integration

Prerequisites

• C++17 or later
• Boost library (Interprocess module)
• CMake 3.10+

Build Instructions

1. Install Boost (ensure boost_system and boost_interprocess are available).
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/JayTwoLab/shared_memory_boost_ipc.git
   cd shared_memory_boost_ipc

3. Create a build directory and run CMake:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   cmake --build .

   • For fast search boost

   cmake -S . -B build -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/lib64   -DBoost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=ON -DBoost_DEBUG=ON

4. The executables for the reader and writer will be built in their respective folders.

Usage

1. Start the writer process to create and write data to shared memory:

   ./writer/writer

2. Start the reader process to read data from shared memory:

   ./reader/reader
