Research direction
Start at the boost::process::v2::process constructors and compare them with the non-throwing constructor overloads provided by Boost.Process v1. Check how default_process_launcher accepts and forwards boost::system::error_code, then verify that the example launches without throwing and reports errors through ec.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Boost.Process generally offers throwing and non-throwing overloads.
The constructor of boost::process::v2::process is missing an overload that takes an error_code instance. The following code does not compile:
boost::system::error_code ec;
boost::process::v2::process process{ctx, ec, "/usr/bin/cp", {"source.txt", "target.txt"}};
Looks like these constructors are simply missing and could easily forward ec to default_process_launcher? v1 offered such constructor overloads.
