C++: Creating new thread using pthread_create, to run a class member function

Question

I have the following class:

class A
{
    private:
        int starter()
        {
             //TO_DO: pthread_create()
        }

        void* threadStar         


        

Answer 1

Declare the threadStartRountine() as static:

static void* threadStartRoutine( void *pThis );

Otherwise, the type of threadStartRoutine() is:

void* (A::*)(void*)

which is not the type of function pointer that pthread_create() requires.
