C++ boost json ptree parser fail to parse string

i'm trying to send json messages trough boost message_queue using ptree for storing informations localy.

this is the code of the receiver:

#include <boost/interprocess/ipc/message_queue.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
//#include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/json_parser.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/string.hpp>
using boost::interprocess::message_queue;
using boost::property_tree::ptree; using boost::property_tree::read_json;
#define MAX_SIZE 1000




int main()
{
    message_queue mq (boost::interprocess::open_or_create,"coda",10,MAX_SIZE);
    message_queue::size_type recv_size;
    unsigned int priority;
    ptree pt;

    std::stringstream iss;
    std::string serialized_string;
    serialized_string.resize(MAX_SIZE);
    mq.receive(&serialized_string[0],MAX_SIZE,recv_size,priority);
    iss << serialized_string;
    std::istringstream is(iss.str());
    read_json(is, pt);                                                                                                                                                                                     

    std::cout pt.get<std::string>("prefix") << pt.get<std::string>("faceID") << std::endl;

}

and this is the code of th sender:

#include <boost/interprocess/ipc/message_queue.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/string.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/json_parser.hpp>
using boost::interprocess::message_queue;
using boost::property_tree::ptree; using boost::property_tree::write_json;


#define MAX_SIZE 1000



void send(ptree pt)
{
    std::stringstream oss;
    write_json(oss,pt);

    std::string serialized_strings(oss.str());
    message_queue mq(boost::interprocess::open_only,"coda");
    mq.send(serialized_strings.data(), serialized_strings.size(),0);
    std::cout << oss.str() << std::endl;
}

int main()                                                                                                                                                                                                 
{
    ptree pt;
    pt.put("prefix","standard");
    pt.put("faceID",42);
    send(pt);
}

the sender works and have this output:

$ ./sendptree                                                         
{
    "prefix": "standard",
    "faceID": "42"
}

the receiver receive the data correctly but fail to parse it (with the read_json call).

$ ./recvptree                                                             
{
    "prefix": "standard",
    "faceID": "42"
}

I think it was just that your receive buffer was not null terminated. This code works:

using boost::interprocess::message_queue;
using boost::property_tree::ptree; using boost::property_tree::write_json;


#define MAX_SIZE 1000

void send(ptree pt)
{
    std::stringstream oss;
    write_json(oss,pt);

    message_queue mq(boost::interprocess::open_or_create,"coda",10,MAX_SIZE);
    mq.send(oss.str().c_str(), oss.str().size(),0);
    std::cout << oss.str() << std::endl;
    system("PAUSE");
}

int main()                                                                                                                                                                                                 
{
    ptree pt;
    pt.put("prefix","standard");
    pt.put("faceID",42);
    send(pt);
}
