In case anyone else gets this someone else gave me the tip to use `boost::executor_adaptor<TestEx> tex;` And a link to this discussion http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#th... kind regards, James On 5 May 2016 at 19:02, Juan Ramírez wrote:

Based on this http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#th... doc, boost::async is defined as follows:

template <class F> future http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#th...::type>async(F f);template <class F> future http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#th...::type>async(launch policy, F f);

In your example you are calling the second overload, which takes a launch policy in its first argument, boost::launch is an enum (se here http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/boost/thread/futures/launch.hpp), i guess the compiler is failing trying to create an enum from your class instance.

I tried your example using boost::launch::async and capturing your tex object: didn't have any problems at all.
