[Boost-users] Starting ThreadClass including Mutexes

Hi boost-users, I'm new in the mailing list, so I hope, that I'm right here and you can help me. I want to start a ThreadClass that includes some boost::mutex variables, but it doesn't work because of the "noncopyable" definition of the mutex-class. *******************MyClass******************* ...... class OutputProcessor_C { public: ClientOutputProcessor_C(); virtual ~ClientOutputProcessor_C(); void operator()() { while( true ) { boost::xtime wakeUpTime; boost::xtime_get(&wakeUpTime, boost::TIME_UTC); wakeUpTime.sec += ( 0.05 ); boost::thread::sleep( wakeUpTime ); Process(); } } protected: void Process(); boost::mutex m_publishDataMutex; ...... ********************************************* *******************MyMain******************** ...... int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { // Classpointer boost::shared_ptr outputProcessor(new OutputProcessor_C()); // generate Thread boost::shared_ptrboost::thread threadOutputProcessor(new boost::thread(*outputProcessor)); ...... ********************************************* When I tried to compile the source code, there is an error - "It is not possible to copy the constructor for the class 'boost::mutex'". Where is the problem? I don't want to copy anything. If it is not possible to generate a simple thread class that includes some mutexes, that is really weak. Greetings, Matthias
