 171 <p>
 172           The committed address space is the total amount of virtual memory (swap
 173           or physical memory/RAM) that the kernel might have to supply if all applications
 174           decide to access all of the memory they've requested from the kernel. By
 175           default, Linux allows processes to commit more virtual memory than available
 176           in the system. If that memory is not accessed, no physical memory + swap
 177           is actually used.
 178         </p>
 179 <p>
 180           The reason for this behaviour is that Linux tries to optimize memory usage
 181           on forked processes; fork() creates a full copy of the process space, but
 182           with overcommitted memory, in this new forked instance only pages which
 183           have been written to actually need to be allocated by the kernel. If applications
 184           access more memory than available, then the kernel must free memory in
 185           the hard way: the OOM (Out Of Memory)-killer picks some processes to kill
 186           in order to recover memory.
 187         </p>
 188 <p>
 189           <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Interprocess</strong></span> has no way to change
 190           this behaviour and users might suffer the OOM-killer when accessing shared
 191           memory. According to the <a href="http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting" target="_top">Kernel
 192           documentation</a>, the Linux kernel supports several overcommit modes.
 193           If you need non-kill guarantees in your application, you should change
 194           this overcommit behaviour.

1299           Win32 version of shared mutexes and shared conditions are based on "spin
1300           and wait" atomic instructions. This leads to poor performance and
1301           does not manage any issues like priority inversions. We would need very
1302           serious help from threading experts on this. And I'm not sure that this
1303           can be achieved in user-level software. Posix based implementations use
1304           PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED attribute to place mutexes in shared memory, so
1305           there are no such problems. I'm not aware of any implementation that simulates
1306           PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED attribute for Win32. We should be able to construct
1307           these primitives in memory mapped files, so that we can get filesystem

1317           Currently Interprocess only allows <span class="bold"><strong>char</strong></span>

1320           files, for example). In the future Interprocess should try to present a
1321           portable narrow/wide char interface. To do this, it would be useful to
1322           have a boost wstring &lt;-&gt; string conversion utilities to translate
1323           resource names (escaping needed characters that can conflict with OS names)
1324           in a portable way. It would be interesting also the use of <span class="bold"><strong>boost::filesystem</strong></span>
