I've been trying to use boost::thread with a movable structure (see end
for code + error). From the online manual (
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#...
)
template
thread(F f, A1 a1, A2 a2, ...);
Preconditions:
F and each An must by copyable or movable.
Effects:
As if thread(boost::bind(f,a1,a2,...)). Consequently, f and
each an are copied into internal storage for access by the new thread.
I've been running into a problem with this however. The use of
boost::bind means that F needs to have a copy constructor, which seems
odd as the manual says "or movable".
Am I doing something wrong, or is this an oversight, or what?
Regards,
Daryl.
