Multithread prob.

David

Hi All:

Is it possible in a class' member function to start a thread calling
another member function in the same class' .....? .i.e

class A
{

void f1(void*)
{
}

void f2()
{
....

startthead(f1); // i tried _beginthread wont work at least...
....
}
}
Thanks.

Yes.

Threading is however not yet part of standard C++.
' .....?

Meaningless.

.i.e

Incorrect assumption.

class A
{
void f1(void*)
{
}

void f2()
{
...

startthead(f1); // i tried _beginthread wont work at least...
...
}
}

This code does not compile. See the FAQ on how to post.

Most of the thread libraries expect non-member function pointer. You
can get away by making the function static and passing the _this_ ptr
to it.

Hi,

Try the ACE threading library if you need to use threads in an OO way.
ACE has some neat classes, like ACE_Task which make it quite easy to
use threads in an OO way.

Thanks and regards
