Timers and threads

I have a function which should be called with an interval of 0.5 seconds in its own thread.

Is there a feature in boost or another library which allows to connect a timer which works in callback-like mode and runs callback for a given time interval?

sounds more like you want a repeating timer with a callback

you can normally do this with boost and binding...here is a good walk though

You can use boost::asio::deadline_timer for that.

I use JUCE for timers. It allows you to subclass the timer class using multiple inheritance, set a timer running, and then define a callback function to handle the timer events extremely easily.

There are probably many libs that offer similar functionality.
