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?<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>

<br>
Boost threads are nothing like Java thread classes or the Runnable
interface.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
This page &lt;<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html" target="_blank">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html&gt;</a>
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.<br>
<br>
Feel free to ask questions as they arise. Welcome to Boost and good
luck!<br>
