The class template std::future provides a mechanism to access the result of asynchronous operations: An asynchronous operation (performed via std::async, std::packaged_task, or std::promise) can provide a std::future object to the creator of that asynchronous operation. The creator of the asynchronous operation can then use a variety of methods to query, wait for, or extract a value from the ...

The get member function waits (by calling wait ()) until the shared state is ready, then retrieves the value stored in the shared state (if any). Right after calling this function, valid () is false. If valid () is false before the call to this function, the behavior is undefined.

If the future is the result of a call to std::async that used lazy evaluation, this function returns immediately without waiting. This function may block for longer than timeout_duration due to scheduling or resource contention delays. The standard recommends that a steady clock is used to measure the duration.

Checks if the future refers to a shared state. This is the case only for futures that were not default-constructed or moved from (i.e. returned by std::promise::get_future (), std::packaged_task::get_future () or std::async ()) until the first time get () or share () is called. The behavior is undefined if any member function other than the destructor, the move-assignment operator, or valid is ...
