I would like to use some cross platform C++ library for starting, stopping and getting standard output for processes. I found and I would like to use C++ POCO libraries: are these good?

What's the best alternatives? I use Boost and they have Boost开发者_JAVA百科 Process, but is not part of the official release and AFAIK it won't be neither very soon (development stopped at 2008). Can you advise me a bit on this POCO lib or other?

I don't have any direct experience with the Processes lib in POCO but I'm a big fan of the project in general and the networking and threading libs in particular. Works great under Windows (MinGW & VS), OS X, and Linux.

I have used POCO cross-platform for iOS/Android and it was very straightforward, dynamic pointers, threading and much much more. There was some threshold on getting it running at first, but once first sample was running: no problems... You may want to check out our entire project here
