How to Use "Push_Back" Function Vector of Complex Struct in Boost. Interprocess Shared Memory

Sorry to bother you. I am writing code to make this code,"" in this question "Structures and vectors in Boost Shared Memory", the basis

But, I am stuck in compile error of this line.

data.push_back(id);   // 14 line in main function 

This "data" val is no matching "push_back" function. This val is declared by "auto&" in this line.

auto& data = Shared::locate(smt);   // 10 line in "while(1)" of main function

(This locate(smt) function is construct of a complex struct's vector in shared memory )

I assume that "data" is vector or iterator of the complex struct, but there are no way to run this line that I know.

I wonder I was wrong somewhere in this code, but I don't know where is.

Please, help me.

Note 1: line of "data.push_back(id);" is no matching function for call to ‘boost::container::vector, boost::interprocess::iset_index> > >, boost::interprocess::allocator, boost::interprocess::iset_index> > >, boost::interprocess::segment_manager, boost::interprocess::iset_index> > >::push_back(InData&)’ candidate: void boost::container::vector::push_back(const T&) [with T = BasicInData, boost::interprocess::iset_index> > >; Allocator = boost::interprocess::allocator, boost::interprocess::iset_index> > >, boost::interprocess::segment_manager, boost::interprocess::iset_index> >]|

Note 2 : Now, I try to change to the line below;

cv::Mat_<cv::Vec3b> mat;
cv::VideoCapture vcap(0);

InData id(Shared::alloc<uchar_allocator>);
   // camera open check
if (!vcap.isOpened())
    return -1;

But, another compile error occuring "'id' which is of non-class type ". I feel lack of something. How do i do?

Thank you all for helping. Finally I can get it.

In this line in main function is

InData id;

it is changed to

Shared::InData id(smt.get_segment_manager());

I suggest get BasicInData(const BasicInData &data) and BasicInData &operate =(const BasicInData &data) function.
