Can't pass lambda that calls member function as C 11 thread ctor argument-CodePudding

I would like to pass a lambda that calls a member function as an argument to the thread constructor but have been unable to. Here's a simple example:

#include <thread>

class Foo {
    void run(void func()) {
        func();
    }

    void bar() {
        return;
    }

    void bof() {
        std::thread thread(&Foo::run, this, [&]{bar();}); // This fails to compile
    }
};

The above results in the following error:

$ g   --std=c  11 -c funcThreadArg.cpp 
In file included from /usr/include/c  /4.8.2/thread:39:0,
                 from funcThreadArg.cpp:1:

       typedef typename result_of<_Callable(_Args...)>::type result_type;
                                                             ^

         _M_invoke(_Index_tuple<_Indices...>)
         ^

Is what I want to do possible? If so, how?

CodePudding user response：

Use a std::function in Foo::run()

class Foo {
    void run(std::function<void()> func) {
        func();
    }

    void bar() {
        return;
    }

    void bof() {
        std::thread thread(&Foo::run, this, [this](){ bar(); });
        thread.join();
    }
};
