Hey everyone,
Since there is not yet a Boost.Process library, does anyone have a suggestion for a lightweight cross-platform C++ library for launching and monitoring (i.e. being able to tell if they die) child processes?
I've put the code from the recent boostcon "boost process" presentation that Boris Schaeling and I gave at: https://github.com/JeffFlinn/boost-process Initial documentation is at: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1qdpxcJB51WMuNYlKYPkPcZZGuPj7zmeUPIp... The intent is to get this completed and ask for review this summer. The areas needing work are: - docs - unit tests - environment variables support (currently inherits) - improve POSIX child unused handle closing - asynchronous joining/waiting I've been successfully using this in my company's product for about 6 months on various flavors of Windows and Mac. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
