std::thread error (thread not member of std)
gcc does not fully support std::thread yet:
http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/status.html
Use boost::thread in the meantime.
Edit
Although the following compiled and ran fine for me with gcc 4.4.3:
#include <thread>#include <iostream>struct F{ void operator() () const { std::cout<<"Printing from another thread"<<std::endl; }};int main(){ F f; std::thread t(f); t.join(); return 0;}Compiled with
g++ -Wall -g -std=c++0x -pthread main.cpp
Output of a.out:
Printing from another thread
Can you provide the full code? Maybe there's some obscure issue lurking in those ...s?
Drop -ansi, it means -std=c++98, which you obviously don't want. It also causes macro __STRICT_ANSI__ to be defined and this may change the behavior of the headers, e.g. by disabling C++0x support.
I had the same issue on windows using MinGW. I found wrapper classes for in on github mingw-std-threads Includingmingw.mutex.h, mingw.thread.h files to global MinGW directory fixed this issue. All I had to do is to include header file and my code stayed the same
#include "mingw.thread.h"...std::thread t(handle);...
