I'm glad you've picked this up because it's a really useful library.
Thanks for the link! I'm currently comparing the code and have already a question: There was a static constant defined in one class which has been changed by Julio to a static method (it had caused problems when the header was included in more than one compilation unit). Julio couldn't use the macro BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT (see http://www.boost.org/development/int_const_guidelines.html) as on Windows a complex type is used which must be defined outside the class. While Julio simply defined a static method I had fixed the code with: #if defined(BOOST_POSIX_API) || defined(BOOST_PROCESS_DOXYGEN) BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(handle_type, INVALID_VALUE = -1); #elif defined(BOOST_WINDOWS_API) # define INVALID_VALUE INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE #endif Is there any guideline what to prefer here?
