How do I read shared memory data written by Qt using boost ?

[anda_skoa]

3. Expecting the Boost program to display size (std::cout << "Shared Mem Size: " << size << std::endl; ) and string (std::cout << i2 << std::endl;). But no result, in cygwin the promt appears again.

If you don't get the size output, doesn't that mean that shared_memory_object::get_size() has returned false?
Wouldn't that indicate that you didn't access the shared memory correctly?

Cheers,
