Only thing you'd have to be careful of is copying of class C but you can inherit from boost::noncopyable to avoid any issues.

Using auto_ptr instead of shared_ptr would be another option, if you prefer ownership transfer semantics.

thread.reset(new thread(&C::ThreadJob));

Note also that a member function pointer is not usable on its own, so you'll need to do something like this instead: thread.reset(new thread( bind(&C::ThreadJob, this) ));
