I have some homework, and I have troubles understanding, (probably) how passing parameters to std::thread constructor works.
Assume following code (I deleted unneeded parts)
template<typename T, typename Task>
class Scheduler
{
private:
typedef std::unordered_map<std::size_t, T> Results;
class Solver
{
public:
Solver(Task&& task) : m_thread(&Solver::thread_function, std::move(task))
{
m_thread.detach();
}
Solver(Solver&& solver) = default; // required for vector::emplace_back
~Solver() = default;
private:
void thread_function(Task&& task)
{
task();
}
std::thread m_thread;
};
public:
Scheduler() = default;
~Scheduler() = default;
void add_task(Task&& task)
{
m_solvers.emplace_back(std::move(task));
}
private:
std::vector<Solver> m_solvers;
};
template<typename T>
struct Ftor
{
explicit Ftor(const T& t) : data(t) { }
T operator()() { std::cout << "Computed" << std::endl; return data; }
T data;
};
int main()
{
Scheduler<int, Ftor<int>> scheduler_ftor;
Scheduler<int, std::function<int(void)>> scheduler_lambda;
Ftor<int> s(5);
scheduler_ftor.add_task(std::move(s));
scheduler_lambda.add_task([](){ std::cout << "Computed" << std::endl; return 1; });
}
Why it doesn't compile? MVS2015 is complaining about
functional(1195): error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments functional(1195): note: class does not define an 'operator()' or a user defined conversion operator to a pointer-to-function or reference-to-function that takes appropriate number of arguments
note: while compiling class template member function 'Scheduler<int,Ftor<int> >::Solver::Solver(Task &&)'
While G++ 4.9.2
functional: In instantiation of ‘struct std::_Bind_simple<std::_Mem_fn<void (Scheduler<int, Ftor<int> >::Solver::*)(Ftor<int>&&)>(Ftor<int>)>’:
required from ‘void Scheduler<T, Task>::add_task(Task&&) [with T = int; Task = Ftor<int>]’functional:1665:61: error: no type named ‘type’ in ‘class std::result_of<std::_Mem_fn<void (Scheduler<int, Ftor<int> >::Solver::*)(Ftor<int>&&)>(Ftor<int>)>’ typedef typename result_of<_Callable(_Args...)>::type result_type;
I suppose there are some problems with std::moving to std::thread.
If you use member function as first thread argument, second argument supposed to be this pointer, pointing to the object to which member function could be called to
UPDATE
Good discussion here
Start thread with member function
