std::experimental::shared_future<T>::then

Attach the continuation func to *this. The behavior is undefined if *this has no associated shared state (i.e., valid() == false

Creates a shared state associated with the future object to be returned, and a copy fd of func constructed as if by DECAY_COPY( std::forward <F> (func) ) evaluated in the thread calling then, where DECAY_COPY

template<class T>
std::decay_t<T> DECAY_COPY(T&& v)
{
    return std::forward<T>(v);
}

When the shared state currently associated with *this is ready, the continuation INVOKE(std::move(fd), *this) is called on an unspecified thread of execution, where INVOKE is the operation defined in Callable

Any value returned from the continuation is stored as the result in the shared state of the returned future object. Any exception propagated from the execution of the continuation is stored as the exceptional result in the shared state of the returned future

Let U be the return type of the continuation (i.e. std::result_of_t < std::decay_t <F> ( const std::experimental::shared_future <T> & ) > ). If U is std::experimental::future <T2> for some type T2, then the return type of then is std::experimental::future <T2> , otherwise it is std::experimental::future <U> . This is known as implicit unwrapping

If implicit unwrapping takes place and the continuation returns an invalid future, then the shared state is made ready with an exception of type std::future_error with an error condition of std::future_errc::broken_promise

After this function returns, valid() is true

Parameters

Return value

A std::experimental::future object associated with the shared state created by this object. valid() == true
