I am trying to share a single mutex with both producer and consumer. However I get a noncopyable error, even if I pass a reference.
boost::bind *copies* its parameters, so you will get an error about being unable to copy. You need to use boost::ref: boost::thread( boost::bind( &DoInThread, this, results, boost::ref(mtx) )); Anthony -- Anthony Williams | Just Software Solutions Ltd Custom Software Development | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk Registered in England, Company Number 5478976.
