i believe you can use the bind() function provided by the boost::bind library
In this way, you can bind parameters to the function and they will be passed in as normal.
boost::thread your_thread( boost::bind(&your_function, param1, param2, .....) );In this way, you can bind parameters to the function and they will be passed in as normal.

Newer versions of the Boost Thread Library permit this without using bind().

But a solution for older versions of Boost is to use a functor and pass the arguments to its constructor. Example here: http://antonym.org/2009/05/threading-with-boost---part-i-creating-threads.html
