boost:thread - compiler error

Question

I wanted to use boost::thread in my program, but get the following compiler error (Visual Studio 2005):

Error   1   **error C2064**: term does not evaluate t         


        

Answer 1

Try it like this - the boost::thread constructor is expecting a boost::function0 (which a function pointer is, but a member function pointer isn't, due to the this pointer).

void HelloWorld::entry()
{
    boost::thread thrd(boost::bind(&HelloWorld::hello,this));
    thrd.join();
}
