Syntax Error in initializing a Thread

[rojan_neo]

I am using SFML 1.6 and trying to implement a simple thread as in the following code

Code: [Select]


#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>


using namespace std;
using namespace sf;
void THreadFunc()
{
  ...
}

int main()
{
RenderWindow window(VideoMode(800,600,32), "Box2D");
Event events;
Thread thread(&THreadFunc);
while(window.IsOpened())
{
while(window.GetEvent(events))
{

}

...

window.Clear();
window.Draw(sp);

window.Display();
}


return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Now during initialization

Code: [Select]



Thread thread(&THreadFunc);

I get the following error

Code: [Select]



Error 3 error C2664: 'sf::Thread::Thread(sf::Thread::FuncType,void *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'void (__cdecl *)(void)' to 'sf::Thread::FuncType'



Can anyone help??

In SFML 1.6, the thread function must take a void* parameter:

Code: [Select]


void THreadFunc(void* userdata)
{
  //...
}

Pass a pointer to a struct that contains all the data you need.
