Hello,
I am completely new to Boost and I would like to know in which method to put the business logic (work) of my thread class (which inherits from boost::thread). When you do that in Java you implement Runnable and put the business logic in the run() method. How do I do that with boost?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

Hello Julien - Boost threads are nothing like Java thread classes or the Runnable interface. The boost thread interface takes a function or function object that it then begins running right away. If you are approaching this from a Java background I suggest you start by forgetting all about Java thread objects and start as if you know nothing about threads as objects. This page <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html> will hopefully get you started. The boost::thread documentation is well written and you will want to take some time familiarizing yourself with what boost (and the c++ standards committee) think a thread is. Feel free to ask questions as they arise. Welcome to Boost and good luck! michael
