Anyway, I wouldn't like this to discourage you from taking a look at the documentation and code. The library is already big enough to let you get a general idea on its focus and design. You can start criticising now! ;-) Sincerely, any constructive comments will be certainly appreciated.
Library looks great!
Thanks :)
I like that library isn't restricted to common features of platforms, but offers extended interfaces with specific features for each platform.
And I have some questions: 1. Can I create bp::child object for already-running process if I know it's PID?
It is currently not possible (constructors are protected). But maybe that is not as appropriate as I initially thought... Can you illustrate an use case where this could be useful? If made public, the constructor's interface might need to change a bit to be clearer.
2. Will there be support for forking under unix?
I was thinking about adding a special start() method to the posix_launcher that takes a function instead of a command line and uses that as the child's entry point. Then, you'd use that as a fork(). Cheers, -- Julio M. Merino Vidal <jmmv84@gmail.com> The Julipedia - http://julipedia.blogspot.com/
