[...]Instead of just defining them for POSIX
#if defined(BOOST_POSIX_API) pipe() : stype_(unknown_stream) { } pipe(stream_type stype) : stype_(stype) { } #endif
You can add the respective constructors for WINDOWS, even if the parameter is completely ignored.
#if defined(BOOST_WINDOWS_API) pipe() { } pipe(stream_type /*stype*/) { } #endif
The same applies to all the behaviors using stream_type.
The use case would be to create a stand-alone pipe outside of Boost.Process?
Another use case would be to support pipes between child and parent with unusual direction, i.e. stdin used for output and stdout/strerr used for input. In current version it is possible on posix, but impossible on windows.
