Hi,
At our labs we share the desire for a C++ iostreams implementation that deals with these problem domains:
1. Inter-process communications, including simple popen-type usage, like a scripting language; also pipes for forking 2. Socket communications, TCP UDP and unix
For the 1.34 release of Boost, I'm planning to add socket and pipe Devices to Boost.Iostreams, which is debuting in 1.33 (http://boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/iostreams)
3. Serial communications, and a wrapper to set the serial parameters
For 1. and 2., we are currently using the socket++ library. I am also aware of the PStreams library for 1. for 3. we use hacked together mix of C and C++.
Is there any sort of joint strategy planned to tackle this area? If there is, I may be able to contribute.
There's been a lot of work on networking, most recently by Pedro Lamarão (see the archives). I'm sure your contributions would be welcomed.
