Re: [Boost-users] Passing an argument to threads (boost::thread)

Jean,

I'm not familiar with Boost.Thread yet, but the documentation for 1.36.0 suggests you can call the thread constructor with multiple arguments as you're doing. Docs for 1.35.0 don't mention that constructor so I wonder if you're using 1.35.0 or before, but reading documentation for 1.36.0?

As suggested by others, boost::bind looks like it'll help.

Regards,

Pete
