NAME

std::experimental::future - std::experimental::future

Synopsis

Defined in header <experimental/future>
template< class T > class future; (1) (concurrency TS)
template< class T > class future<T&>; (2) (concurrency TS)
template<> class future<void>; (3) (concurrency TS)

The class template std::experimental::future extends std::future with the following
operations:

* an unwrapping constructor from future<future<T>>;
* a member function is_ready to query whether the associated shared state is
ready; and
* a member function then to attach a continuation to the future.

However, there is no interoperation between std::experimental::future and
std::future.

Member functions

constructor construct a future object
(public member function)
is_ready checks if the shared state is ready
(public member function)
then attaches a continuation to a future
(public member function)
operator= moves the future object
(public member function)

Members identical to std::future

Member functions

Note that share() returns a std::experimental::shared_future<T>. The behavior is
otherwise identical.

destructor destructs the future object
(public member function of std::future<T>)
share transfers the shared state from *this to a shared_future and returns it
(public member function of std::future<T>)

Getting the result

get returns the result
(public member function of std::future<T>)

State

valid checks if the future has a shared state
(public member function of std::future<T>)
wait waits for the result to become available
(public member function of std::future<T>)
waits for the result, returns if it is not available for the specified
wait_for timeout duration
(public member function of std::future<T>)
waits for the result, returns if it is not available until specified
wait_until time point has been reached
(public member function of std::future<T>)
