owner changed from Anthony Williams to viboes
status new → assigned
component threads → thread

Please, don't use the threads component but the thread one.

Please, could you give an example and the compiler error you are getting.

I see on the develop branch this overload that should avoid the issue

        template <class F,class A1>
        thread(F f,A1 a1,typename disable_if<boost::thread_detail::is_convertible<F&,thread_attributes >, dummy* >::type=0):
            thread_info(make_thread_info(boost::bind(boost::type<void>(),f,a1)))
        {
            start_thread();
        }

Sure: If I do this:

boost::thread::attributes attrs;

#if defined(BOOST_THREAD_PLATFORM_WIN32)

bool res;

res = SetThreadPriority(attrs.native_handle(),THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL);

#elif defined(BOOST_THREAD_PLATFORM_PTHREAD)

pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(attrs.native_handle(), SCHED_FIFO);

#endif

sendThread = boost::thread(attrs,&sender::sendItThreadFunction,this);

I get the following compiler error(s):

However, when I use this instead:

sendThread = boost::thread(attrs, boost::bind(&sender::sendItThreadFunction,this));

it is working perfectly fine.

Does this help to track down the issue ?

Thanks in advance and sorry again for the late reply
