Re: [Boost-users] boost::thread and member function

Steven, Member functions have an implicit this parameter. When you use mem_fun on void my_class::foo(void), you actually get a unary functor whose parameter is of type my_class * const. The boost::bind Matt mentioned sets that parameter, resulting in a nullary functor. If you use a non-member (or class-static) void() function, you would not need the bind.

Please use a smart pointer.

Smart pointer is a valid suggestion, but would be more useful for the dynamically-allocated class, than for the boost::thread instance that the OP seems to want on the stack. ~ Scott McMurray
