Multiplatform multiprocessing?

Question

I was wondering why in the new C++11 they added threads and not processes.

Couldn\'t have they done a wrapper around platform specific functions?

Any suggest

Answer 1

I am using Boost Interprocess.

It does not provide the possibility to create new processes, but once they are there, it allows them to communicate.

In this particular case I can create the processes I need from a shell script.
