Hi, I am a new user of the boost libs, so sorry for the supid questions. I am running into a compilation error while trying to compile listing 2 and listing 3 from Bill Kempf's article at http://www.cuj.com/articles/2002/0205/0205a/0205a.htm, giving simple usage examples of boost threads. 1. When I compile listing 2, the compiler chokes on the lines boost::thread thrd1(count(1)); boost::thread thrd2(count(2)); with the errors listing2.C:27: no matching function for call to `count (int)' listing2.C:28: no matching function for call to `count (int)' As you can see in the listing online, count is defined as 'struct count{...}' Upon perusal of threah.hpp, I see that, indeed, the class thread constructor is looking for a function, not a struct or class as count is defined in this code. Am I missing something, or is the code in error? 2. In listing 2, I get the following errors when compiling: listing3.C:29: no matching function for call to `bind ({unknown type}, int)' listing3.C:31: no matching function for call to `bind ({unknown type}, int)' This is in response to the lines: boost::thread thrd1(boost::bind(&count, 1)); boost::thread thrd2(boost::bind(&count, 2)); Again, am I missing something or what? I have pasted the code directly from the source as provided online. TIA for your help Richard
