Hi there,
using bind, like boost::thread thrd(boost::bind(&helloworld, "Bob")); thrd.join();
I prefer bind.
The second thread will blocked by the first thread. If the first thread never exit, the second thread never run. It is a very funny problem. But I really do not know what happen. Does anyone know about this topic?
Please provide a code sample that shows your problems. Also, make sure you create the two threads first before you you call any join(). Since you are calling your thread function helloworld, I suspect you're using the threads to print out some text on the console. Some systems will provide a basic locking scheme when several threads accessing stdout file. Use an endless loop in your thread function and you'll see them running concurrently. Regards, Christian
