RE: [boost] boost.thread : Can one create a thread with anobjectmember function?

I assume I need to include some bind includes to get this to compile
(I'm getting "error: `bind' undeclared in namespace `boost'".

I see several includes in /usr/include/boost/bind.  Which should I
include?  None are obvious to me, like 'bind.hpp' would be.

Thanks,
Tim

Do this instead:

    boost::shared_ptr<objclass> objthread( new objclass );
    thrds.create_thread( boost::bind( &objclass::dowork, objthread ) );

Even better, drop the objclass entirely and do this:

    void dowork( int tid, string valtwo )
    {
        // do work
    }

    thrds.create_thread( boost::bind( dowork, my_thread_id, my_valtwo )
);
