How to bind a class member function with an object of the class to create a thread by pthreads?

How to bind a class member function (without input arguments) with an object of the class so that the binded function can be used to create a thread by pthreads?

#include <tr1/functional>
  using std::tr1::bind;
using namespace std::tr1::placeholders;


Server server(port_number);
Server* serverPtr;
serverPtr = &server; 

pthread_t my_thread = makeThread(bind(&lab1::Server::Run), serverPtr);

pthread_t makeThread(ThreadBody body) {

ThreadBody* copy = new ThreadBody(body);

void* arg = reinterpret_cast<void*>(copy);
pthread_t thread;
if (pthread_create(&thread, NULL, threadFunction, arg) != 0) {
perror("Can't create thread");
delete copy;
exit(1);
 }
return thread;
}

I got compile error:

I have no idea what this error means.

You should use bind like this

bind(&lab1::Server::Run, serverPtr);

But i think pthread_create doesn't accept a function returned by bind. You can write a static helper method in Server and use the arg argument.

class Server
{
  static void RunWrapper(void* server)
  {
     Server* s = static_cast<Server*>(server);
     s->Run();
  }
};


Server* myServer = CreateServer();
pthread_create(&thread, NULL, &Server::RunWrapper, myServer);
