Title: Is it possible to make a sf::Thread to a function with more than one parameter?
Post by: bobtran12 on July 21, 2015, 07:24:12 am

Is it possible to make a sf::Thread to a function with more than one parameter?

For example, I want to make a thread that starts the following function:

void func(int A, double B, double C, string D) {}

Not sure if I am overlooking something, but I can only make it if the function has at most one parameter. Such as:

void func(int A) {}

int main()
{
        sf::Thread thread(func, A);
}

No. Use std::thread if your compiler supports it.

What if I did this?

void func(int A, double B, double C, string D) {}

int main()
{
    sf::Thread thread(std::bind(func, A, B, C, D));
}

Or is there something wrong with that?

It works, but... if your compiler supports std::bind then std::thread is also probably available. There's no reason not to use it.

I guess you're right. I'll use std::thread instead. Thanks!
