Boost :: thread inside a class

Question

I am trying to create a class that, when created, launches a background thread similar to the one below:

class Test
{
  boost::thread thread_;
  void Process()
  {
    ...
  }

  public:
    Test()
    {
       thread_ = boost::thread(Process);
    }
}

I can not compile it, error: "There is no corresponding function to call for boost :: thread :: thread (unresolved function type)." When I do this outside the class, it works great. How can I make a function pointer work?

Answer 1

You should initialize thread_as:

Test()
  : thread_( <initialization here, see below> )
{
}

Processis a member of a non-static class method Test. You can:

• declare Processas static.
• bind a test instance to call Processon.

Process ,

&Test::Process

Test Boost.Bind:

boost::bind(&Test::Process, this)

Answer 2

, boost:: thread -.

:

Test()
    :thread_(boost::bind(&Test::Process, this));
{

}

question .

Answer 3

Make your process method static:

  static void Process()
  {
   ...
  }
