[Playerstage-users] something wrong with boost multi-thread programming

[chyujian <iam...@gm...>]

I tried to build a multi-thread robot architecture using boost thread,
but I found it quite difficult. 

Hereafter I past my code and my question inside.

###.h file###
class Robot
{
  public:
Robot();
~Robot();
void Read();
void Move();

};

### .cc file ###
Robot::Robot()
{
boost::thread readThread(&Robot::Read);
  /* I hope the read task to be implemented in a single independent
thread. But once I set up the Read thread, I could not even  pass the
compile. How can I encapsulate the read task into a single thread?
  */

}

void Robot::Read()
{
while(true)
  {/*read data from low level devices*/}
}

void Robot::Move()
{ /* set the velocity via the position2d device mounted on Robot*/   }
