Seriously, though, what's the state of it? Can we get it into the review 
queue soon? It would be great to have it in 2.060.

Yes. My bad. :)

I figured you had invented time travel… ;)

In all seriousness, I would also love to see the std.process 
rewrite in the next release, as I have been several times in 
situations now where I wanted to use D to write a little tool, 
but could not due to its basically non-existent support for 
handling child processes.

Oh, and could somebody please post a link to the latest version 
of the new std.process draft? I will probably add cross-platform 
support for constraining execution time and resource (RAM, 
mostly) usage, but there is no point in reimplementing it if it's 
already there.

Probably original discussion with links:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/The_new_std.process_163694.html

Links from that thread:
* std.process overhaul: 
https://github.com/kyllingstad/phobos/commits/new-std-process
* druntime changes: 
https://github.com/schveiguy/druntime/commits/new-std-process


Probably nobody needs it, but:
For Win32 solution (Win64 in future) one can use
https://github.com/denis-sh/hooking
project that implement some process manipulation functionality (consider 
hooking.windows.* modules). It's almost undocumented but its source is 
obvious and it works.

For non-hooking needs, hooking.windows.process is basically a tiny 
WinAPI wrapper (with exceptions like e.g. Process.getThreadIds that use 
nasty Nt* stuff which is the only way to obtain process threads AFAIK).

If somebody needs it, feel free to send bugreports and feature-requests 
like: ".NET's System.Diagnostics.Process can it, implement it, now!".

And yes, 'phobos-additions' project is also required to compile and 
coffimplib-ed Windows SDK's psapi.lib is required to link.

I am also hanging out for the new std.process. Any idea when the required

I suspect they're probably some trivial POSIX/Windows API declarations, 
so reviewing and merging them shouldn't be a bottleneck, but somebody 
has to actually submit the changes as a pull request.

I just created a small script using std.process, and the *pain*.. 
Took a look at the new std.process which easily lets you spawn a 
process using custom stdin/out/err, get the result etc.etc.. 
Looks a lot better than what we currently have.

Unfortunately, it needs some druntime changes, so I couldn't just 
plug it in without building dmd myself.

So.. Ping? :) Inclusion in 2.062?

I join Alex on this. I can't wait for improved std.process, honestly...

+1. I have been using a hacked copy of the new one for ages, and would 
love to see it become part of phobos.

No, 2.062 is in beta now.  We are, however, targeting 2.063.  Stay tuned=
