Construction of a std::thread with a pointer-to-member-function and
reference_wrapper as in this simple program:

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

class A {
public:
    void foo(int n) { std::cout << n << std::endl; }
};

int main()
{
    A a;

    std::thread t1(&A::foo, std::ref(a), 100);
    t1.join();
}

incorrectly results in a compilation error:

In file included from /usr/local/include/c++/4.8.2/thread:39:0,
                  from check.cc:2:

std::_Bind_simple<std::_Mem_fn<void (A::*)(int)>(std::reference_wrapper<A>,

int)>’
        typedef typename result_of<_Callable(_Args...)>::type result_type;
                                                              ^

int)>’
          _M_invoke(_Index_tuple<_Indices...>)
          ^

I reduced the original program to:

#include <functional>
#include <thread>

int main() {
  struct A { void foo(int) {} } a;
  std::thread(&A::foo, std::ref(a), 100).join();
}

which still displays the erroneous behavior. Note that std::bind(&A::foo,
std::ref(a), 100) *does* compile correctly, as does a similar program in which
the member function foo has no parameter.

Program is incorrectly compiled by g++ 4.8.2 and 4.8.1, correctly compiles with
4.6.4 and 4.7.3.
