Thanks, it turns out I don't need to object class so I dropped it.

Do this instead: boost::shared_ptr<objclass> objthread( new objclass ); thrds.create_thread( boost::bind( &objclass::dowork, objthread ) ); Even better, drop the objclass entirely and do this: void dowork( int tid, string valtwo ) { // do work } thrds.create_thread( boost::bind( dowork, my_thread_id, my_valtwo ) ); _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
