I like C++ but I realized that I keep implementing functionality that should be part of the standard library. Here are the features I'm missing most:
- an easy way to spawn a subprocess while controlling the standard input/output. something like
popen but integrated with the standard I/O streams.- UTF-8 and Unicode: convert between UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32. convert a string to lower case and to upper case.
- networking: an easy way to implement a HTTP client or server
- cross-platform memory-mapped files
- thread-safe (and possibly lock-free) queues.
- persistent data structures
- JSON serialization/deserialization
What are you missing most from the C++ standard library?
