OO Threads (was RE: Learning C)

[Adam Tauno Williams <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been reading the pthreads book by O'Rielly to brush up on my knowledge of
threads, and I've got a question for all you OO (Object Oriented) people.  And
that's that threads make sense in a procedural world, for example I do something
like:

	void fucntion1(int r1);
	int main() {
	  pthread_t  thread1;
	  int r1;
	  pthread_create(thread1, NULL, (void*) function1, r1);
	  ...
         }

And the function I declared gets executed as the start of the thread.  I can't
figure out/envision how this works in the OO model, and O'Rielly doesn't really
mention it.  Do I pass a pointed to a method in an object?  Or in C++ can I pass
a pointer to an object itself?
