`launch` returns a callable that accepts 0 or more `properties` to launch the process. Example:

class launcher { std::string exe_; std::vectorstd::string args_; public: launcher(std::string exe, std::vectorstd::string args) : exe_(std::move(exe)), args_(std::move(args)) { }

template child operator()(Props&&... props) const { return detail::exec(exe_, args_, std::forward<Props>(props)...); } }; struct launch_ { template launcher operator()(std::string exe, Args&&... args) const { return {std::move(exe), {std::forward<Args>(args)...}}; } }; constexpr launch_ launch{};

// syntax: // launch("ls", "-la", "/")(stdout(my_pipe)); Yeah, that still doesn't work. When do you launcht process? Please

[...] [...] [...] think those Ideas through, if you want me to take them serious. If you launch at the call of "launch("ls", "-la", "/") than you couldn't bind stdout. If you launch after the binding of stdout, how would you append another paremeter? It's broken.

I forgot: you can write all of this very easily: struct launch { std::string exe; std::vectorstd::string args; launch(const std::string & exe, const std::vectorstd::string &args) : exe(exe), args(args) {} template bp::child operator()(Args && ... args) { return bp::child(bp::exe=exe, bp::args=args, std::forward<Args>(args)...); } };

...

...

bp::shell("ls -la /", bp::stdout(my_pipe)); bp::launch("ls", {"-la", "/"}, bp::stdout(my_pipe)); bp::launch("foo", {}, bp::stdout(my_pipe));

Same here: template void shell(const std::string & cmd, Args &&...args) { bp::spawn(bp::cmd=cmd, bp::shell, std::forward<Args>(args)...); } template void launch(const std::string & exe, const std::vectorstd::string & args, Args && .. args) { bp::spawn(bp::exe=exe, bp::ars=args, std::forward<Args>(args)...); }
