Hello everybody.
As the title states, I want to run a function in a new thread, and pass it some arguments. How would I do that? I guess I could make a class, deriving from Thread, and work with it, but out of curiosity, I'd like to know if it's possible with a simple function.

See std.concurrency.

auto tid = spawn(&function, arg1, arg2, arg3, ...);

Very interesting, thank you. I'm currently writing a little client<>server application, and wanted to use 1 thread per client, for simplicity, but with this it's probably not harder to just loop through non-blocking recvs, and pass something to a handler thread. Am I right?
