Title Body

I have the following data structure: typedef struct { short id; string name; short age; } person_struct; Using boost message queue, I tried to send this data structure to the message queue receiver in another process. However, after receiving, I have segmentation fault when accessing the 'name' variable in the above structure. Below is my sender function: person_struct MyRec; MyRec.id = 1; MyRec.name = "ABC123"; MyRec.age = 20; message_queue mqSender(create_only, "MSG_Q", 100, sizeof(person_struct)); mqSender.send(&MyRec, sizeof(person_struct), MQ_PRIORITY); Below is my receiver function: message_queue myReceiver(open_only, "MSG_Q"); person_struct *recvMsg = new person_struct(); size_t msg_size; unsigned int priority; myReceiver.receive(recvMsg, sizeof(person_struct), msg_size, priority); cout << "ID: " << (*recvMsg).id << endl; cout << "Name: " << (*recvMsg).name << endl; cout << "Age: " << (*recvMsg).age << endl; The cout for (*recvMsg).id is okay, but segmentation fault occurred at cout for (*recvMsg).name. Read somewhere that I need to do serialization for the structure, but can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone suggest?
