When will aix be supported?

[klemens-morgenstern]

If I get help implementing & testing it, sure. I don't have access to an AIX machine.

[klemens-morgenstern]

The implementations needed are:

std::vector<pid_type> all_pids(boost::system::error_code & ec);
pid_type parent_pid(pid_type pid, boost::system::error_code & ec);
std::vector<pid_type> child_pids(pid_type pid, boost::system::error_code & ec);

probaly using https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=g-getprocs-subroutine

and

filesystem::path exe(boost::process::v2::pid_type pid, boost::system::error_code & ec)

which could probably just always return a "operation not supported" error.

You can provide a code package that supports AIX functions, and I'll conduct the testing and verification.

[paladin-dalao]

In the Boost code, I don't know how to implement these error codes.

[paladin-dalao]

I hope it can support the implementation of the AIX system.

@klemens-morgenstern help

[paladin-dalao]

It is possible to provide a beta version. I will conduct debugging and fixing, and then submit a Pull Request

[klemens-morgenstern]

I can't write the code, i do not have access to an AIX machine.
