Hey hey,
using boost 1.78 from the Archlinux repository, using the thread constructor
with
boost::thread::attributes
as first argument fails to compile.
The relevant code from the small test program is this:
void work(bool& done)
// simple main function for the thread
int main()
{
bool done = false;
boost::thread::attributes attr;
// all changes commented out in the program
boost::thread th1(attr, work, std::ref(done));
// some code, sleep and set done to true
th1.join();
return 0;
}
g++ 11.2.0 reports the following error:

The syntax is based on this part of the manual:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html...
Is that perhaps a feature only introduced in version 1.79 of the Boost
libraries?
Best wishes and thanks for any pointers,
Jeanette
