10047,Using Boost:Interprocess on Android,anonymous,Ion Gaztañaga,"It is not a bug, but it might safe some time to others using boost:interprocess library on Android.

This library usually uses a temporary directory to store the data that is being shared among processes. The directory path used for this can be found on os_file_functions.hpp-:get_temporary_path. 

The thing is that if you do not modify this file and add ´/sdcard´ to the possible paths that your process can use, then you cannot share information among android Apps due to the permission restrictions that exist for processes on android storing data outside their sandbox.

It will be a good feature to have boost compile with this option on. Or provide a static method to add my own Temporary Path.


Note: I am not completely sure if something exists to solve this problem.
