How can I add boost threads to a vector

Question

I have something like this that is incorect:

vector<boost::thread> vec;
for(int agent = 1; agent <= numAgents; ++agent)
{
    boost::thread agentThread(sellTickets, agent, numTickets/numAgents);
    vec.push_back(agentThread);
}

Maybe i should add pointers to boost::thread in the vector, but then I don't know how to add dynamic allocated threads, how should I do to make this work ?

Thank you.

• You must have a compiler with move-semantics supported in order to make your code work,

• or use vector<shared_ptr<boost::thread>> with code like:

  vec.push_back(make_shared<boost::thread>(sellTickets, agent, numTickets/numAgents));
  

• or use boost::thread_group.
