What is the method boost prefers to pass arguments to boost threads? (such as a pointer to some class object)

I saw the class thread_specific_ptr. Is thread_specific_ptr designed for this purpose?

Is there a recommended site with boost examples to check out? Boost has good documentation, although I prefer to learn by example and use strict documentation as I become more experienced.

Thanks much, Graham

Take a look this introductory article on Boost.Threads by Bill Kempf: http://www.ddj.com/184401518 It addresses the question you're asking in a very clear, straightforward manner, with examples. Moshe
