[...]Thanks for your work on Boost.Process, I tried to use it under AIX and it failed to compile because of the use of WCOREDUMP in posix_status.hpp. This macro isn't a POSIX macro and isn't implemented under all Unix implementations, so I enclosed it between #ifdef WCOREDUMP #endif as suggested in the Linux manpage wait(2) and always return false when the macro doesn't exist.
bool dumped_core() const { BOOST_ASSERT(signaled()); #ifdef WCOREDUMP return WCOREDUMP(flags_); #else return false; #endif }
Could you incorporate this change to you source for the next version please ?
Thanks for the patch! By the way, did you try to run the tests? I know that the tests were passed successfully on Windows (VC++), Cygwin (g++), Solaris (g++ and Sun C++) and Linux (g++) and would like to add AIX to the list. :) A description of how to run the tests is here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/180285 Boris
