No, and IIRC ther are some minor problems to be sorted out first. But your
post finally made me use it in one of my own projects (which I had planned
since I saw it the first time), and it works well. The only glitch I saw
is this: If you try to get the exit status of the child with child::wait()
it will throw an exception if the child is already dead.
The big advantage over our code is that we can redirect stderr. That
enables us to capture error messages from the myriad of external tools we
use.
The svn address is
https://www.boost-consulting.com:8443/svn/main/boost/soc/2006/process/trunk,
and I need the attached patch to compile it.
