C++: Virtual Table and Shared Memory

补充栏3： C++对象和共享内存 （叙述内容和Link1的内容基本一致）

 关于这个问题的一个扩展： p49， class ACE_IPC_SAP的constructor为protected, 这样可以防止其被直接实例化，同时避免了虚指针。

 关于这个问题的另一个扩展：  p106, 在多线程情况下，可以使用含有虚表的C++对象，利用进程局部内存的公用数据结构。

Virtuality forbidden

The virtual table pointer and the virtual table are in the address space of the process that constructs the object, so if we place a class with a virtual function or virtual base class, the virtual pointer placed in shared memory will be invalid for other processes and they will crash.

This problem is very difficult to solve, since each process needs a different virtual table pointer and the object that contains that pointer is shared across many processes. Even if we map the mapped region in the same address in every process, the virtual table can be in a different address in every process. To enable virtual functions for objects shared between processes, deep compiler changes are needed and virtual functions would suffer a performance hit. That's why Boost.Interprocess does not have any plan to support virtual function and virtual inheritance in mapped regions shared between processes.
