1.6 Threads when using classes

[Slasher133]

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, all I want is to be able to use the thread example but in a different class.

Here are a couple of the errors I get:

Code: [Select]

error: no matching function for call to 'sf::Thread::Thread(void (Foo::*)(void*))'|

Main

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include "Foo.h"
int main()
{
    // Create a thread with our function
        // Start it !
    Foo bar;
    bar.init();

    // Print something...
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        std::cout << "I'm the main thread" << std::endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Foo.h

Code: [Select]

#ifndef FOO
#define FOO
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>

class Foo{
    public:
        void ThreadFunction(void*);
        void init();
};
#endif

Foo.cpp

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include "Foo.h"
void Foo::ThreadFunction(void* UserData)
{
    // Print something...
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        std::cout << "I'm the thread number 1" << std::endl;
}

void Foo::init(){
    sf::Thread Thread(&ThreadFunction);
    //Tried these as well, did not work
    //sf::Thread Thread(&Foo::ThreadFunction);
    //sf::Thread Thread(ThreadFunction());
    Thread.Launch();
}

Member functions are not non-member functions. The big difference is that the former requires an instance of the class to be called.

If you want to pass a member function to sf::Thread, you must use inheritance as shown in the tutorial.

Oh, I see, thanks for the help. I was just thinking that using that base class tutorial was for something else, I did not realize it was for what I wanted to do, and now it works properly.
