Question

I have a code like this:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <tbb/tbb.h>
    #include <Windows.h>



    bool MyThread(int something)
    {
        std::cout << "This is a thread function\n" << std::endl;

        for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
        {
            something++;
            Sleep(1);
        }

        return true;
    }

    int main ()
    {
        tbb::tbb_thread pMyThread = tbb::tbb_thread(MyThread, 3);

        pMyThread.join();

        return 0;
    }

But if I compile it in VS 2008 it shows:
error C2248: ‘tbb::internal::tbb_thread_v3::tbb_thread_v3’ : cannot access private member declared in class ‘tbb::internal::tbb_thread_v3’

for the first string of main() function. Where am I wrong?

Answer 1

This is likely calling a copy constructor when it shouldn’t, try this instead:

tbb::tbb_thread myThread(MyThread, 3); 

If you are able you should also consider using std::thread which is in the header
