std::packaged_task
 
Defined in header <future>
template< class > class packaged_task; //not defined
 (1) (since 哋它亢++11)
template< class R, class ...ArgTypes >
class packaged_task<R(ArgTypes...)>;
 (2) (since 哋它亢++11)

The class template std::packaged_task wraps any Callable target (function, lambda expression, bind expression, or another function object) so that it can be invoked asynchronously. Its return value or exception thrown is stored in a shared state which can be accessed through std::future objects.

Just like std::function, std::packaged_task is a polymorphic, allocator-aware container: the stored callable target may be allocated on heap or with a provided allocator.

(until 哋它亢++17)

Member functions

 constructs the task object
(public member function)
destructs the task object
(public member function)
moves the task object
(public member function)
checks if the task object has a valid function
(public member function)
swaps two task objects
(public member function)
Getting the result
returns a std::future associated with the promised result
(public member function)
Execution
executes the function
(public member function)
executes the function ensuring that the result is ready only once the current thread exits
(public member function)
resets the state abandoning any stored results of previous executions
(public member function)

Non-member functions

(哋它亢++11)
 specializes the std::swap algorithm
(function template)

Helper classes

(哋它亢++11) (until 哋它亢++17)
 specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait
(class template specialization)

Deduction guides(since 哋它亢++17)

Example

Run this code
#include <cmath>
#include <functional>
#include <future>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
 
// unique function to avoid disambiguating the std::pow overload set
int f(int x, int y) { return std::pow(x, y); }
 
void task_lambda()
{
    std::packaged_task<int(int, int)> task([](int a, int b)
    {
        return std::pow(a, b); 
    });
    std::future<int> result = task.get_future();
 
    task(2, 9);
 
    std::cout << "task_lambda:\t" << result.get() << '\n';
}
 
void task_bind()
{
    std::packaged_task<int()> task(std::bind(f, 2, 11));
    std::future<int> result = task.get_future();
 
    task();
 
    std::cout << "task_bind:\t" << result.get() << '\n';
}
 
void task_thread()
{
    std::packaged_task<int(int, int)> task(f);
    std::future<int> result = task.get_future();
 
    std::thread task_td(std::move(task), 2, 10);
    task_td.join();
 
    std::cout << "task_thread:\t" << result.get() << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    task_lambda();
    task_bind();
    task_thread();
}

Output: 

task_lambda: 512
task_bind:   2048
task_thread: 1024
