Anyone knows what's going on?
I think I do. The new Boost.Threads implements the proposed standard interface where F is expected to be a function object; std::reference_wrapper is, but boost::reference_wrapper isn't. The old Boost.Threads did not suffer from this problem since it stored F in a boost::function, which automatically recognizes reference_wrapper and "dereferences" it before the call.
This can be fixed on the user side by wrapping the reference_wrapper in a boost::bind, or it can be fixed on the Boost.Threads side. The third option, making boost::reference_wrapper callable, is a very risky change that I would advise against.
(4) create a custom callable object. I'll look into that tomorrow. (I'd rather not introduce an additional dependency for such a simple task.) Thanks for the explanations, m
