Template function will not compile when called as a thread

Question

I have a problem relating to template functions and threads:

template 
void Threader(TYPE_size counter)
{
    counter++;
}
int main()
         


        

Answer 1

I'm taking the liberty of offering a variety of fixes to achieve what I believe is intended behaviour:

#include 

template 
void Threader(T & counter)    // take by reference!
{
   counter++;
}

int main()
{
   unsigned int counter = 100;
   std::thread one(Threader,   // specify template *instance*
                   std::ref(counter) );      // pass variable as reference
   one.join();
   return counter;
}
