C++ invoker

gistfile1.txt

Heres a rough idea, how you can use this with any function object:
template<class F>
struct invoker
{
    static void start(void * x)
    {
        (*(reinterpret_cast<F*>(x)))();
        delete x;
    }
};

template<class F>
int create(pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr, F f)
{
    return pthread_create(thread, attr, &invoker<F>::start, (void *) new F(f));
}
It allocates the function object on to the heap which may not be the best option.
