Is it possible in C++ to create a new object at a specific memory location? I have a block of shared memory in which I would like to create an object. Is this possible?

You want placement
new(). It basically calls the constructor using a block of existing memory instead of allocating new memory from the heap.Edit: make sure that you understand the note about being responsible for calling the destructor explicitly for objects created using placement
new()before you use it!
