Could you try adding the following overload of the thread constructor to boost/thread/pthread/thread.hpp
template <class T,class R,class P1,class A1> thread(R (T::*f)(P1),A1 a1):
thread_info(make_thread_info(boost::bind<void>(boost::mem_fn(f),a1))) { start_thread(); }
If that makes the problem go away, I'll commit the change.
I tried, but the compiler prefers the other constructor when resolving the overload, so the error persists.
Try
template <class T, class R, class A1> thread(R (T::*f)(),A1 a1):
without the P1.
Oops. I was too quick off the mark, and forgot that the first argument was the "this" pointer.
This would only work for no-argument non-const member functions though. More overloads are needed to cover all cases. I'll think about fixing that somehow on the bind side.
Shall I hold off committing a fix to boost::thread for now, then?
A more systematic thread::thread test that covers all possibilities would be nice to have.
I've updates test_thread_launching to cover more options Anthony -- Anthony Williams | Just Software Solutions Ltd Custom Software Development | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk Registered in England, Company Number 5478976. Registered Office: 15 Carrallack Mews, St Just, Cornwall, TR19 7UL
