Re: [Boost-users] Passing arguments to threads

boost::thread dataThread(dparse.dataMain,instUUID); dataThread.join();

However, when I attempt to use this, I get the following exception from my compiler.

[snip] (Assuming instUUID is a string) Without knowing what "dparse.dataMain" refers to, I can only speculate: If dparse is a class name and dataMain a static method, or dparse is a namespace name and dataMain a function : boost::thread dataThread(&dparse::dataMain,instUUID); If dparse is an instance name and dataMain is a non-static method, you have to pass the instance to call: boost::thread dataThread(&TypeOfdparse::dataMain, dparse, instUUID) HTH, Éric Malenfant
