Hello,

I need a tip / hint for solving the following problem:

I have a class method that is run in different threads:
myclass::mythreadmethod( mysuperclass& )

mysuperclass is a reference variable, that is used during the thread i=

running.
Anyway the method should be myclass::mythreadmethod( mysuperclass ), s=

o that

each running thread has a own local copy of the object, but I can't
switch the parameter
because the method is derivated of another class.

I need in the method a local (deep-copy) of my object. So I create a
clone method like
myclass::mythreadmethod( mysuperclass& pobj )
{
mysuperclass& lobj = p_obj.clone();

}

In this case I get the compiler error, that I try to set up a temporar=

assignment.

The try to do it like
myclass::mythreadmethod( mysuperclass& pobj )
{
mysuperclass& lobj;
p_obj.clone(lobj);}

create the message l_obj isn't initializate.

Does anyone has some tips to create a working solution? The perfect so=

lution

should be a deep-copy of the pobj reference

Thanks

Phil

How about making mysuperclass a pointer (or a smart pointer of some
kind), then you can initialize it to zero (or in the case of smart_ptr
it happens automatically). I'd use scoped_ptr in this case..., but as
example I'd this use a bald pointer...

Thanks, I#M using smart-pointer, i don't see the solution with pointer :-=

Just be careful of auto_ptr in general. If possible, use scoped_ptr,
otherwise be sure to overload your copy constructor and assignment
operator.

Kind regards,

Werner
