But, before I start to do so, I would like to know if such library will be adequate to be integrated and/or if there is interest in it. FWIW, I've searched the mailing lists and found some people that said that they missed this functionality in Boost.
Any comments?
Thanks in advance,
I am definitely very interested! I would like to see this kind of library have good integration with Boost.Iostreams ( http://www.kangaroologic.com/iostreams/ ). I would also like to have operator overloading for redirection and piping operations, e.g. ofstream f("test.cpp", ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc) f << "#include <iostreams> int main() { std::cout << "hello world"; return 0; }"; f.close(); boost::process("gcc test.cpp"); stringstream s; boost::process("a.out") > s; assert(s.str() == "hello world"); I am already using this syntax this with my own ootl::filters library (which redirects functions instead of processes), and I would gladly help integrate the code (and make it more boost-worthy) with your library. The current version of the code is at http://www.ootl.org/ootl/filters/filters.hpp.htm and some examples of how I use it are at http://www.ootl.org/ootl/filters/filter_tests.hpp.htm Let me know if I can be of any help. -- Christopher Diggins Object Oriented Template Library (OOTL) http://www.ootl.org
