For my project I needed a logger and the ability to run/manage processes. Since the project will use boost, I do not want to drag into it external libraries.
I googled boost.process[1] and boost.log[2][3], and I have three questions: 1) whether these libraries are suitable for use in real projects? have anyone used them?
I'm the maintainer of Boost.Process (if there is something like a maintainer for an unofficial Boost library). If you want to use Boost.Process, I strongly recommend using the version at http://www.highscore.de/boost/process0.5/. That's the latest version which is awaiting a review. It is used by others in real projects and has quite an extensive test suite. Furthermore, I try to help out quickly if anyone runs into any issues (which means there shouldn't be any issues most of the time :).
2) do I understand correctly that the boost.process library does not have open CVS?
Yes, the latest version is currently only available as a ZIP file from http://www.highscore.de/boost/process0.5/process.zip. Boris
