the threading stuff stays the same.

You cannot use classes directly with threading functions. Your classes 
must be aware of threading. You need some mechanism to protect classes 
which are not threadsafe if more than one thread could access an object 
at te same moment of time.

This is a general problem of threading which might causes problems.

Do not forget that C++ uses additional data in objects which the 
programmer does not see.
