Pass multiple arguments into std::thread

You literally just pass them in std::thread(func1,a,b,c,d); that should have compiled if the objects existed, but it is wrong for another reason. Since there is no object created you cannot join or detach the thread and the program will not work correctly. Since it is a temporary the destructor is immediately called, since the thread is not joined or detached yet std::terminate is called. You could std::join or std::detach it before the temp is destroyed, like std::thread(func1,a,b,c,d).join();//or detach .

This is how it should be done.

std::thread t(func1,a,b,c,d);
t.join();  

You could also detach the thread, read-up on threads if you don't know the difference between joining and detaching.


Had the same problem. I was passing a non-const reference of custom class and the constructor complained (some tuple template errors). Replaced the reference with pointer and it worked.
