I am writing a small C application that use some threads for processing data. I want to be able to know the number of processors on a certain machine, without using system() & in combination to a small script.

The only way i can think of is to parse /proc/cpuinfo. Any other useful suggestions ?

In a linux application I'm using pipes to pass information between threads. The idea behind using pipes is that I can wait for multiple pipes at once using poll(2). That works well in practice, and my threads are sleeping most of the time and only wake up if there is something to do for them. On… >>> More

Hi Do you know about any good library wrapping posix and linux functions and structures ( eg. sockets or file descriptors ) into C++ classes?
