promise

promise is a type that can be used to set a value that can be awaited via a future. The stored data is only destroyed when the promise, and all associated futures go out of scope. A promise is movable and non-copyable.

Prototype

template <typename T, typename Allocator>
struct promise {
	future<T, Allocator> get_future(); // (1)

	template <typename U>
	void set_value(U &&v); // (2)
	void set_value(); // (3)
};

1. Obtains the future associated with this promise. This can be called multiple times to get multiple futures.
2. Emplaces a value into the promise (overload for T other than void).
3. Same as (2), except T must be void.

Requirements

T is any type. Allocator is an allocator. T is constructible from U.

Arguments

• v - the value to emplace.

Return values

1. This method returns a future object associated with the promise.
2. This method doesn't return any value.
3. Same as (2).
