[Interprocess/Process] Libraries status?
Dear Boost users/developers, first let me introduce myself to the list as I am newcomer here. My name is Peter Novak and I am using Boost since few months in some of my research projects. I need to implement some extensive interprocess communication and as I am already using Boost quite extensively, I looked a bit around and found that there are Boost.Interprocess and Boost.Process libraries hanging somewhere in the air. As I found, Interprocess by Ion Gaztanaga was already accepted for Boost release last in February 2006. Since then, we already saw 1.34 release, which did not include this library(why?), although it is already included in the CVS tree. Finally, there does not seem to be any special review notice, or any other remark about the fate of the Process library by Julio Vidal, although it was written in the frame of the SoC project last year and did not seem to receive negative comments on the developer's list. Is there somebody who could update me on the fate of these libraries? I mean whether they will be included (Interprocess) in the next Boost release, and if so, when is the next version of Boost scheduled to be released? Are there any considerations to submit Process library for review, or was it dismissed without a proper review process? As of now, I am considering to incorporate the Interprocess library into my source tree anyway and one day when the next Boost version will be released, I will migrate my package to the version included with the Boost 1.35(?). Thanks for your comments and help. Best, Peter. -- Peter Novak, pno-boost@aronde.net, http://peter.aronde.net/
