What data? The actual thread data (there's not much, beyond the thread id which isn't direclty accessible) is found by calling the default c-tor on the thread. The data passed in the functor is your responsibility. Either you explicitly pass it everywhere that's needed, or the thread stores it in a tss key. -- William E.
