Hello,

How to pass arguments to a thread?

From the documentation I thought I could do this: mp_ProcessorListenerThread = new boost::thread(ProcessorListener, this);

However I get the following error: 'boost::thread::thread' : no overloaded function takes 2 arguments

I'm just curious: is there some good reason you've chosen to dynamically allocate thread objects? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
