Trying the make simple piece of code work:

std::thread threadFoo;

std::thread&& threadBar = std::thread(threadFunction);

threadFoo = threadBar; // thread& operator=( thread&& other ); expected to be called

Getting an error:

use of deleted function 'std::thread& std::thread::operator=(const std::thread&)'

I explicitly define threadBar as an rvalue reference, not a ordinary one. Why is not expected operator being called? How do I move one thread to another?

Thank you!
