Pass parameters to std::thread wrapper

Question

I want to implement a small thread wrapper that provides the information if a thread is still active, or if the thread has finished its work. For this I need to pass the functio

Answer 1

In the error message, you can see the difference void (*)() vs void (&)(). That's because std::thread's constructor parameters are std::decayed.

Add also std::ref to f:

template< class Function, class... Args>
   ManagedThread::ManagedThread( Function&& f, Args&&... args):
      mActive( false),
      mThread( threadFunction< Function, Args...>, std::ref(mActive), std::ref(f), std::forward(args)...)
{
}
