[Boost-users] Starting ThreadClass including Mutexes

Hi boost-users,

I'm new in the mailing list, so I hope, that I'm right here and you can 
help me.

I want to start a ThreadClass that includes some boost::mutex variables, 
but it doesn't work because of the "noncopyable" definition of the 
mutex-class.

*******************MyClass*******************
......
class OutputProcessor_C
{
    public:
    ClientOutputProcessor_C();
    virtual ~ClientOutputProcessor_C();

    void operator()()
    {
        while( true )
        {
            boost::xtime wakeUpTime;
            boost::xtime_get(&wakeUpTime, boost::TIME_UTC);
            wakeUpTime.sec += ( 0.05 );
            boost::thread::sleep( wakeUpTime );

            Process();
        }
    }

protected:
    void Process();
    boost::mutex m_publishDataMutex;
......
*********************************************

*******************MyMain********************
......
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    // Classpointer
    boost::shared_ptr<OutputProcessor_C()> outputProcessor(new 
OutputProcessor_C());

    // generate Thread
    boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> threadOutputProcessor(new 
boost::thread(*outputProcessor));
......
*********************************************

When I tried to compile the source code, there is an error - "It is not 
possible to copy the constructor for the class 'boost::mutex'". Where is 
the problem? I don't want to copy anything. If it is not possible to 
generate a simple thread class that includes some mutexes, that is 
really weak.

Greetings,
Matthias
