Hi everyone, a while ago, I started to write a little utility that aims to interact with multiple VCS systems. I chose C++ (and I don't regret that decision at all), so I had to create multiple classes to interact with system internals and keep the "real" application code clean from such OS-specific calls. A few days ago, I decided to switch to use Boost in that project, basically because I was interested in the Filesystem library. Doing so, I have been able to remove some of my custom classes that dealt with files and directories (and which were quite ugly). Furthermore, this change has allowed me to use many other Boost goodies. Among the classes I wrote, there are some that provide an abstraction layer to launch other (child) processes. Once the process is launched, the code can access its standard input/output/error streams by using the standard iostreams framework. I'm willing to reorganize (well, mostly rewrite from scratch) such process-management classes to follow the Boost policies, aiming for future integration in Boost. 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, -- Julio M.
