Shared memory and objects with virtual functions

Anyone knows why it is not possible (at least without a great deal of
"jiggery-pockery" behind the scenes), to store objects that contain
virtual functions in a shared memory block?

I think I know the answer - possibly something to do with unresolvable
function addresses when mapping from vf table to virtual address - but
this is an uneducated guess at best, on my part. It would be useful to
get a more experienced C++ programmers' view on this.

When I first discovered shared memory (between multiple processes) I immediately started thinking of how to build my own VM subsystem + locking mechanisms for a large single block of memory. This seems like one option, the other appears to be just having each "object" you want to share be a shared mem space to itself: allocate objects into a defined shared mem space. But here you have many many objects being shared. Having a VM...

Hi, Is there a way to have the virtual table of c++ objects allocated in shared memory (in fact in the same address space as the object is) instead of having it allocated in the process address space ? This could be useful to share objects between processes without having to call the constructor of the object twice (I think it is the constructor that is creating the virtual table, right ?) Thanks

Hi, Hopefully this is thecorrect group, its a bit C++ and a bit POSIX... Ive had a look in the archives, and Im a bit confused.... I have some classes in a shared library (a .so on a QNX system) which I want to instantiate into shared memory so that 2 processes can both operate on the same data. The classes have a quite derived ineritance tree (not sure if this is the correct term) where I have several classes derived from a base...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
