Question

So on my VS2010 I can compile code like :

boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> internal_thread;
boost::packaged_task<void> internal_task_w(boost::bind(&thread_pool::internal_run, this, internal_thread));
internal_thread = boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread>( new boost::thread(std::move(internal_task_w)));

first 2 lines are ok with boost 1.47.0 and linux… but on std::move it gives error: ‘move’ is not a member of ‘std’. On VS2010 it does not require any special header. So I wonder which header it requires on linux and is it in its STD anyway? If not how to get around it with boost or something?

To get g++ into C++11 (or C++0x) mode, you have to add the command-line parameter -std=c++0x on versions <= 4.6, nowadays you can also use -std=c++11.
