What is the status of boost:process, when looking on internet you can find different version that are more or less compatible. Not an ideal situation and I am a bit surprised that this lib doesn't get more love from c++ dev.

I'm also curious why this library hasn't been integrated into the standard

set of Boost libraries. Would someone be kind enough to provide some (current) background on the latest thinking/status of this?

Because it has not yet been accepted into Boost.

Ya, I figured that ;).

It was reviewed a couple years ago, and rejected (for good reasons).

OK, this is part of what I was looking for: where would I find the results of that review?

In the boost-developer's mailing list archives. http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2011/03/178147.php

[ Really, you should read the discussion - though it was a couple hundred messages. The review result is an attempt to summarize. ] http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/

Boris has spent a lot of time reworking the library, and plans to resubmit it for review.

...and this is the second part of what I was looking for. Does anyone have any idea of timeframe for this? I realize the review process time frame is somewhat indeterminate, but wondered about the nominal time for review of a library of this size/complexity and also any approximation for the time frame for re-submission?

That's a question for Boris to answer ;-)

Thanks Marshall.
