[Boost-users] passing pointer as function arg using boost::bind

I'm having a problem passing a pointer as an arg via boost::bind and was hoping anyone could help out. I was able to pass 'a' just fine, but the second arg 'b' I'm having a problem with. Here is what I have. -- namespace NS { class MyThread { int doIt(NS::A a, B *b); // ... A a; B *b = new B(); NS::MyThread f_thread; boost::thread workerThread(boost::bind(&NS::MyThread::doIt, &f_thread, boost::ref(a), boost::ref(b))); Any help much appreciated.
