title: Boost Thread defer thread creation
body: <p>I would like to create thread object as a member variable such as </p>
  
  <pre><code>boost::thread t;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would then like to assign it a method and launch it.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> boost::thread t(Myfunction);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above lauches the thread immediately.I would like to defer the thread creation.</p>
  
  <p>I came across this <a href="https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/16" rel="nofollow">post</a> but I am not sure if anything has been done to accommodate that request ?</p>
