I recommend to read the overview at http://www.highscore.de/cpp/process/ if you haven't yet (that's the big picture; that's where development stopped last year; there are also many open questions listed). I also recommend to read these threads: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/188736 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/180284 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/180720 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/180277 You might find more relevant threads on the mailing lists if you search for Boost.Process. That way you get a complete overview about the problems. :)
[...]architecture in both platforms to see what can be done, and what is impossible. With this I also could find some common points in both architectures to bring to the boos.process. That is the kind of material I'm looking for. If someone can point me out something to read about this, would be nice.
The APIs are well documented on man and MSDN, so I'm not really worried about this part.
I'm afraid there is not much more than MSDN and man pages. At least I'm not aware of any documentation which explains those similarities and differences we are interested in. What might help though is studying the Java and .NET API. Sun and Microsoft must have gone this way before (at least partly). Boris
