[Boost-users] Accessing running thread in Boost.Threads

Hello!
I'm trying to use Boost.Thread in my application. I created my class 
with overloaded operator ( ) and pass it's object to the thread 
constructor. Thread runs, it's ok. But as I understand, when I pass my 
object to the thread constructor, thread makes a copy of it. So when I 
try to send a message (call a method) to MY object, running thread 
doesn't receive it, because it is a COPY. I solved this problem by 
giving to the thread object a pointer to a parent object (some kind of 
callback), but it's not quite suitable. How can I access the copy of my 
object, which is used by Boost.Thread? Is it possible or giving a 
pointer to parent object is the only way?
Will be grateful for your assistance.

Best regards,
Denis.
