How can i run thread in c++? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• Most vexing parse: why doesn't A a(()); work? 5 answers

I have my class:

class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass();
    list<Obj> mainList;
    void MyMethod(){//This method changes elements in mainList};
}

void StartThread(MyClass& tmp)
{
    tmp.MyMethod();
}

main()
{
    MyClass test();
    std::thread thr(StartThread, std::ref(test));
    the.join(); //or detach(), both don't work
}

So can I do it this way using C++11?

The error that I get every time(LongPollSession = MyClass):
