And what will happen if the member function takes some additional parameters?
e.g. one has
 
void run(const std::string& cs)
{
    // thread job goes here
}
 
Should I use nested boost::bind calls?
 
Thanks a lot for help.

Hello Sliwa,

This should do it.

 

class Simple

{

      Simple() : th(boost::bind(&Simple::run, boost::ref(*this)))

      {}

 

      void run()

      {

            for(;;){

                  //Thread's work goes here.

            }

 

      }

private:

      boost::thread th;

};

All,

 

Does anyone know how to spawn a thread on member function of an existing object in its constructor.

Clearly simple boost::bind does not work. I do not know how to tell the compiler it must take the member function.

 

Thanks for help,

 

Pshemek

 

Kind regards
