Re: Starting a thread which runs a member function

Hello ,

I have the following code :

//...additional includes cut off
class MyThread{

public:
        DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc( LPVOID lpParameter );
        void run();

};

DWORD WINAPI MyThread::ThreadProc(LPVOID lpParameter){

        cout<<"Thread called\n";
        return 0;

}

void MyThread::run(){

        CreateThread(NULL, 0, MyThread::ThreadProc, NULL, 0, NULL=

LINE

}

void main(void){

        MyThread p;
        p.run();

}

When i compile this ( with MSVS 2005 ) i get the following compile
error:

LINE: error C3867: 'MyThread::ThreadProc': function call missing
argument list; use '&MyThread::ThreadProc' to create a pointer to
member.

Then I add &MyThread:ThreadProc instead of MyThread::ThreadProc and i
get another compile error:

LINE: error C2664: 'CreateThread' : cannot convert parameter 3 from
'DWORD (__stdcall MyThread::* )(LPVOID)' to 'LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE'

Any logic explanation?

Thank-you ,

Daniel
