C++ file memory mapping container akin to std::vector / boost::array

Question

I was wondering if there is a well C++ library that provides a file memory mapping container akin to std::vector or boost::array, with the notable difference that it operates on a file memory map.

Right now I'm considering implementing such myself, based on boost::array, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

Answer 1

Check out boost interprocess. It contains a lot of containers and allocators suitable for use with arbirtrary memory locations. There is also direct support for mapped files.
