std::experimental::shared_future

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

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

an unwrapping constructor from future<shared_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.

There is no interoperation between std::experimental::shared_future and std::shared_future.

Members identical to std::shared_future

(destructor)	destructs the future object (public member function of `std::shared_future<T>`)
Getting the result
get	returns the result (public member function of `std::shared_future<T>`) [edit]
State
valid	checks if the future has a shared state (public member function of `std::shared_future<T>`) [edit]
wait	waits for the result to become available (public member function of `std::shared_future<T>`) [edit]
wait_for	waits for the result, returns if it is not available for the specified timeout duration (public member function of `std::shared_future<T>`) [edit]
wait_until	waits for the result, returns if it is not available until specified time point has been reached (public member function of `std::shared_future<T>`) [edit]

(concurrency TS)

a version of std::future enhanced with continuations and other features

(constructor)	constructs a `shared_future` (public member function) [edit]
is_ready	checks if the shared state is ready (public member function) [edit]
then	attaches a continuation to a `shared_future` (public member function) [edit]
operator=	assigns the contents (public member function)
