std-in/out communication with child process
Hi, I'd like to open a child process within my main process and send info to its stdin and get info from its stdout/stderr. It would be handy for the unit testing suite for a compiler. It would compile some source-code to a binary, start the binary as a child process and test it. Is there a way in C++ and/or Boost to do this? Thanks! -- Michiel Helvensteijn

You've got such capabilities in Boost.Process, which is not a part of the official boost yet: http://www.netbsd.org/~jmmv/process/boost_process/usage.html#boost_process.u...

That's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks. :-) Though, I see a 2006 copyright. Is this library actively maintained? Will it be a part of the official boost someday? Thanks, -- Michiel Helvensteijn

Well, here is the latest discussion I could find on this issue: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/04/120189.php

I see. Well, it will suffice for now. But I would certainly like to see this library in Boost someday. Thanks for your reply, -- Michiel Helvensteijn

There has been some progress again this year: See http://www.highscore.de/boost/process/ for version 0.3. Boris
