                    function, with operator new
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++

$ cat testi.cc
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

struct Foo {
    template <typename T> Foo(T) {
        new boost::thread(boost::ref(*this));
    }
    void operator()() {}
};

int main() {
    Foo foo(1);
}

$ clang++ testi.cc -lboost_thread-mt

Make Foo::Foo non-template or remove the new in front of boost::thread and the
program builds fine.

Workaround: new boost::thread(&Foo::operator(), this)
