[SOLVED]Running class functions with an object with a Thread

[Pyrius]

What syntax would I use to run a class function as a Thread with an object and a parameter? For example:

Code: [Select]


Thread thread(foo.bar(param));

thread.Launch();


Thanks in advance.

You can't do that directly, but you can use std::bind() or boost::bind():

Code: [Select]

class Foo { void bar(int x); };
Foo foo;

Thread thread( std::bind(&Foo::bar, &foo, 7) );
See the Boost.Bind documentation. The alternative is a self-written functor with operator() or a lambda expression in C++11.

What do I #include to use std::bind?

The <functional> header. Your standard library must support C++11, though (VS 2010 or a newer g++ with the flag -std=c++0x). Otherwise, use the Boost or TR1 version.
