[interprocess] A little gentle criticism
Please Boost developers, C++ programmers deserve not to deal with C-style strings anymore.
With all respect, this is not a view that I share. I'm a c++ developer who prefers C-style strings. Most of the coding standards on C++ projects that I have been on over the last 10 years or so have discouraged using C++ string wrappers. This hasn't changed recently from what I can see. I rarely if ever use std::string or std::basic_string. Many C++ developers still prefer C style string handeling. Tom

Just curious... Is there a specific reason for such preference?
