Does the C++ standard support processes?
<p>I know C++11 added support for threads. For example:</p>

<pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include &lt;thread&gt;

void bar()
{
    std::cout &lt;&lt; "bar()\n";
}

int main()
{
    std::thread thread(bar);
    thread.join();

    return 0;
}
</code></pre>

<p>However, is there a way to execute the <code>bar</code> function in a separate process? If not, is there any discussion on whether such a feature should be added?</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> I'm aware of the possibility of using platform independent libraries and I'm just curious if C++ supports this directly or will in the future.</p>
