I noticed that the boost::process::child does not have a default
constructor. If I have a coding requirements like the following
example, I would be stuck:

// Note the required default constructor
boost::process::child child;

// Create a scope for the mutex guard
{
    boost::lock_guard<boost::mutex> guard(process_launch);

   // Here I must do something within guard scope
   // that must be done with the boost::process::launch
   do_something();

   child = boost::process::launch(exec, args, ctx);
}

// ...

boost::process::status s = child.wait();

// ...
