Hey, I&#39;m trying to start a thread from a Class but the only way I did it was using a pointer.<div>The thing is that when I assign the thread to the pointer it wont start unless I use join().</div><div>I need it to star right away is created just like when I create a thread (boost::thread myThread(funcName);)</div>
<div>I was trying to use thread_group to do this, but create_thread is not working.</div><div><b>Here&#39;s an example of what I was doing:</b></div><div><b>(Here I used the pointer)</b></div><div><div>class Thread {</div>
<div><br></div><div>public:</div><div>    Thread(){};</div><div>    virtual ~Thread(){};</div><div>    virtual void run() = 0;</div><div>    void start(){m_Thread = new boost::thread( &amp;Thread::run, this ); }; //wont start unless I add m_Thread.join();</div>
<div><br></div><div>private:</div><div>    boost::thread* m_Thread;</div><div><br></div><div>};</div><div><br></div><div><b>and now... I am trying to use thread_group:</b></div><div><br></div><div><div>class Thread {</div>
<div><br></div><div>public:</div><div>    Thread(){};</div><div>    virtual ~Thread(){};</div><div>    virtual void run() = 0;</div><div>    void start(){g_Thread.create_thread(&amp;Thread::run); };</div><div>    </div><div>
private:</div><div>    boost::thread_group g_Thread;</div><div><br></div><div>};</div><div><br></div><div><b>But I receive an error:</b></div><div><div>/usr/local/include/boost/thread/detail/thread.hpp: In member function &#39;void boost::detail::thread_data&lt;F&gt;::run() [with F = void (Thread::*)()]&#39;:</div>

<div>make[2]: *** [build/Debug/GNU-MacOSX/main.o] Error 1</div><div>Im using netBeans on Mac OS X 10.6.2</div><div>Anyone knows how should I create this? or how to use simple boost::thread and launch it without using join()??</div>
<div>Thanks!!!</div><div><br></div><div>Dann</div></div></div></div>
