Hi,
I've been wishing for a portable process management library, and this looks promising.
From quickly browsing the documentation, I miss (at least) two major pieces of functionality:
1) The ability to force/request the termination of a child process. 2) The possibility to specify a timeout when waiting for child processes to terminate.
Good points; both seem fairly easy to add so will do.
I might just have missed these in the docs, though. Some minor stuff (not as important for me personally):
3) The ability to set up callbacks for child termination (which I guess is related to your comments on Boost.Asio integration).
Yes, that's related to Boost.Asio.
4) Parameterization by character type (char/wchar etc) for e.g. the command_line class.
Should all strings be parametrizable? For example, the launcher class includes a string to denote the work directory; does it make sense to have that as a wstring? (I'm afraid it does since Win32's CreateProcess receives a TCHAR string as the work directory parameter...) Thanks for the suggestions! -- Julio M.
