Class and std::async on class member in C++
do_rand_stf
is a non-static member function and thus cannot be called without a class instance (the implicit this
parameter.) Luckily, std::async
handles its parameters like std::bind
, and bind
in turn can use std::mem_fn
to turn a member function pointer into a functor that takes an explicit this
parameter, so all you need to do is to pass this
to the std::async
invocation and use valid member function pointer syntax when passing the do_rand_stf
:
auto hand=async(launch::async,&A::do_rand_stf,this,i,j);
There are other problems in the code, though. First off, you use std::cout
and std::endl
without #include
ing <iostream>
. More seriously, std::future
is not copyable, only movable, so you cannot push_back
the named object hand
without using std::move
. Alternatively, just pass the async
result to push_back
directly:
ran.push_back(async(launch::async,&A::do_rand_stf,this,i,j));
You can pass the this
pointer to a new thread:
async([this]()
{
Function(this);
});
