Create boost::spsc queue in boost managed shared memory with a runtime size-CodePudding

Shared-memory IPC synchronization (lock-free)

My use case aligns very closely with what has been described in the above question. But I wanted to go a step further in creating the spsc queue dynamically with a user defined runtime size. I tried implementing it with the following code:

void create_shared_spsc_queue(size_t sz)
{
    using char_alloc = boost::interprocess::allocator<char, boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager>;
    using shared_string = boost::interprocess::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, char_alloc>;
    using string_alloc = boost::interprocess::allocator<shared_string, boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager>;

    using ring_buffer_dynamic = boost::lockfree::spsc_queue<shared_string, boost::lockfree::allocator<string_alloc> >;

    ring_buffer_dynamic *queue_dynamic_;
    boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory segment_(boost::interprocess::open_only, "MySharedMemroy");
    string_alloc string_alloc_(segment_.get_segment_manager());


    queue_dynamic_ = segment_.construct<ring_buffer_dynamic>(rbuff_name)(string_alloc_, sz);
}

But this throws compilation error:

/usr/include/boost/interprocess/detail/named_proxy.hpp:85:7: error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::lockfree::spsc_queue<boost::container::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, boost::interprocess::allocator<char,

I can understand its related to issue with allocators, but I can't seem to resolve it, with my limited understanding of allocators. How can I implement this?

CodePudding user response：

For posterity: I figured, I was calling the ctor of spsc_queue in wrong order of arguments. The following works:

    queue_dynamic_ = segment_.construct<ring_buffer_dynamic>(rbuff_name)(sz, string_alloc_);
