C - C++ Threads - Create a thread - Create a thread with a class object

Create a class object “Missile” and pass it to the thread constructor.

#include <thread>
#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
// Create the function object.
class Missile
{
public:
  void operator() () const
  {
    cout << "Firing Tomahawk missile" << endl;
  }
};
 
int main()
{
  // Create a thread with an function object.
  Missile tomahawk;
  thread t1(tomahawk);
  t1.join();
  return 0;
}

Using a class function

#include <thread>
#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
class Torpedo
{
public:
  void LaunchTorpedo()
  {
    cout << " Launching Torpedo" << endl;
  }
};
 
int main()
{
  // Execute the LaunchTorpedo() method for a specific Torpedo object on a separate thread.
  Torpedo torpedo;
  thread t1(&Torpedo::LaunchTorpedo, &torpedo);
  t1.join();
  return 0;
}
