Template function will not compile when called as a thread

Question

I have a problem relating to template functions and threads:

template 
void Threader(TYPE_size counter)
{
    counter++;
}
int main()
         


        

Answer 1

C++11 introduced lambdas, this can be used in this case as well.

Basically, the thread is created with the use of a lambda, where the lambda calls the function that then allows template type deduction to take place.

thread one([counter]() { Threader(counter); });

Above, the counter is captured by value, but as some of the answer suggest, a capture by reference can also be used

#include 
#include 
template 
void Threader(T& counter)
{
    counter++;
}
int main()
{
    unsigned int counter = 100;
    std::thread one([&counter]() { Threader(counter); });
    one.join();    
    std::cout << counter;
}
