 * @class ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool

 * @brief Make a memory pool that is based on System V shared memory
 * (shmget(2) etc.).  This implementation allows memory to be
 * shared between processes.  If your platform doesn't support
 * System V shared memory (e.g., Win32 and many RTOS platforms
 * do not) then you should use ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool instead of this
 * class.  In fact, you should probably use ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool on
 * platforms that *do* support System V shared memory since it
 * provides more powerful features, such as persistent backing store
 * and greatly scalability.
