[Boost-users] boost::thread and member function

Hello All,
Newbie question, thanks for your patience.

I'm trying to pass a member function as the callback in boost::thread.
Given this:

class my_class
{
...
void foo(void);
...
};

Instincts told me to do this:

boost::thread my_thread( std::mem_fun(&my_class::foo) );

That didn't work and I discovered that boost::thread expects a
boost::function0<void> instead.
Can somebody please help me bridge the gap between std::mem_fun and
boost::function0?

I'm using gcc 4.1 on Linux and Boost 1.33.1

Cheers,
-steve
