Run system process

are there any crossplatform tools for C++ which will help me to run child systme processes (all I need is just running and redirecting stdout into parent). I'm using boost, and I found there boost::process, but it's unofficial. Are there any analogues?

If you just need to run a process and get its output, how about popen(3)? It's widely used, very "official," and sounds like it does what you're looking for, without using Boost.

Boost.Process isn't official yet in the sense it hasn't been accepted into Boost. However, if it works for you why not use it?

Does it work? If so, why does it bother you whether it's "official" or not? Presumably, the license is the same as boost's, and you have the source code available, so you can fix potential bugs. Where's the problem?
