Hello,
I am using boost::thread for a program, but it behaved in an unexpected way (to me at least). I extracted a small case that shows my problem.
I searched in the archives and in the docs, but I couldn't figure this out. With the following code [1] I expect the constructor of my the class MyThread to be called only once and yet on my machine it is called 11 times! [2] The problem is that I was freeing some ressources from the destructor and that even before the operator() was called sometimes.
I am using the CVS version from 3 days ago on a linux x86.
Thanks for any help or any pointer !
[1]:
#include <iostream>
#include
class MyThread
{
public:
MyThread () { std::cerr << "Constructor called.\n"; }
~MyThread() { std::cerr << "Destructor called " << (++id) << ".\n"; }
void operator()() { std::cerr << "Operator() called.\n"; }
private:
static int id;
};
int MyThread::id = 0;
int main()
{
MyThread * pt = new MyThread();
boost::thread th( *pt );
th.join();
std::cerr << "\nEnd\n";
delete pt;
}
