I am working on an application that takes use of boost::thread. During the initial method of my application I need to pass one argument to the method. As per the api documentation for boost::thread I am using the following:
boost::thread dataThread(dparse.dataMain,instUUID); dataThread.join();
However, when I attempt to use this, I get the following exception from my compiler. Is there something that I am missing? I do not see how my thread constructor is any different from the constructor in the api documentation.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

It looks like you have an older version of Boost that doesn't support extra arguments to the constructor. You'll need to use Boost.Bind. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
