public class U : public Thread {

As you can see I'm just trying to re-use some pthread code for a
multithreaded server that spawns new threads for different reasons. I
can't figure out how to cast the void* to a base Thread* pointer and
call the pure virtual "foo" function and get the derived behavior...
Of course, the standard usage like
Thread* u = new U();
u->foo();
calls the derived foo like I expect.
I also tried a non-pure virtual foo and the Thread::foo is still getting
called after the cast.
I'm on OSX 10.4 development version. Not sure which gcc it is.
Thanks in advance,

The code that allocates the Thread object for each pthread created is
missing from your post. In fact there is no obvious execution order to
the code that was posted.
Without knowing what pThread is actually pointing to, it's not possible
to fully diagnose the problem. It's also possible that there is no code
in the program to create new Thread objects, in which case the same
pThread pointer is being passed to every pthread.

In C++, you don't put key word public before a class declaration.

Greg,
Sorry about the lack, I was trying to remove everything that didn't seem
necessary. The code is basically:
int main (int argc, const * char argv[]) {
string toExit;
Thread* t;
while (toExit != "exit") {
cin >> toExit;
if (toExit = "U") {
t = new U();
}
else {
t = new V();
}
t->Start();
delete t;
}
}
Constructors are:
Thread::Thread( ) {}
U::U() {}
V::V() {}
Destructors are:
virtual ~Thread() {}
virtual ~U() {}
virtual ~V() {}
I realize that the main thread s pulling the rug out from under the
pthreads that are running inside the Thread objects... I'm actually
storing the pointers somewhere and joining and deleting threads elsewhere.

Lol... you're right... I've been stuck in C# land for too long (language
at work). Thanks for pointing that out... I didn't cut and paste the
code, I just re-wrote it in simplified form, so there was no compiler
around to yell at men.

Sigh...
I think I solved my own problem. I really was deleting the Thread object
while it's internal thread was still running. This was causing the "pure
virtual function call" because "this" (passed as a void*) had actually
been deleted, so casting it to a Thread didn't cast it to a U or a V.
If I'm more careful about the delete call, ie joining first or
something, it works fine. Multithreading gets me again...
Sorry to bother everyone.
