This indeed should be a FAQ.
class foo
{
public:
foo() {}
~foo() {}
// the following is what can be seen as kind of a "run" member
void operator()(void) {
std::cout << "Hello Thread!" << std::endl;
}
}
Somewher you instantiate your class:
foo my_foo;
Then run it:
boost::thread th(my_foo);
Later join it:
t.join();
You might also read about the boost::bind and functional, as the
argument to the thread constructor is accepting a functional.
