Detailed Description

template<typename RT = void>
class Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData

A data structure that holds a std::future into which the task deposits its return value. Since one can only call std::future::get() once, we do so in the get() member function and then move the returned object into the returned_object member variable from where we can read it multiple times and from where it can also be moved away if it is not copyable.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TaskData() [1/3]

template<typename RT = void>
Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::TaskData ( std::future< RT > &&  future)
inlinenoexcept

Constructor. Initializes an std::future object and assumes that the task so set has not finished yet.

Definition at line 1301 of file thread_management.h.

◆ TaskData() [2/3]

template<typename RT = void>
Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::TaskData ( const TaskData )
delete

There can only be one TaskData object referencing a task. Make sure that these objects are not copied.

◆ TaskData() [3/3]

template<typename RT = void>
Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::TaskData ( TaskData &&  )
delete

There can only be one TaskData object referencing a task. Make sure that these objects are not moved.

◆ ~TaskData()

template<typename RT = void>
Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::~TaskData ( )
inlinenoexcept

Destructor. Wait for the results to be ready. This ensures that the last Task object holding a shared pointer to the current TaskData object blocks until the task has actually finished – in essence, this makes sure that one cannot just abandon a task completely by letting all Task objects that point to it go out of scope.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=() [1/2]

template<typename RT = void>
TaskData & Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::operator= ( const TaskData )
delete

There can only be one TaskData object referencing a task. Make sure that these objects are not copied.

◆ operator=() [2/2]

template<typename RT = void>
TaskData & Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::operator= ( TaskData &&  )
delete

There can only be one TaskData object referencing a task. Make sure that these objects are not moved.

◆ wait()

template<typename RT = void>
void Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::wait ( )
inline

Wait for the std::future object to be ready, i.e., for the time when the std::promise receives its value. If this has already happened, this function can follow a fast path.

Definition at line 1378 of file thread_management.h.

◆ get()

template<typename RT = void>
internal::return_value< RT >::reference_type Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::get ( )
inline

Definition at line 1443 of file thread_management.h.

Member Data Documentation

◆ mutex

template<typename RT = void>
std::mutex Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::mutex
private

A mutex used to synchronize access to the data structures of this class.

Definition at line 1454 of file thread_management.h.

◆ future

template<typename RT = void>
std::future<RT> Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::future
private

The promise associated with the task that is represented by the current class.

Definition at line 1460 of file thread_management.h.

◆ task_has_finished

template<typename RT = void>
std::atomic<bool> Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::task_has_finished
private

A boolean indicating whether the task in question has finished.

Note
We are using a std::atomic_bool here because we have to make sure that concurrent reads and stores between threads are properly synchronized, and that sequential reads on a given thread are not reordered or optimized away. A std::atomic [1] achieves this because (if not otherwise annotated) reads and stores to the boolean are subject to the std::memory_order_seq_cst memory ordering [2]. This ensures that Schmidt's double checking does indeed work. For additional information (and a potentially more efficient implementation) see [3].

◆ returned_object

template<typename RT = void>
internal::return_value<RT> Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::returned_object
private

The place where the returned value is moved to once the std::future has delivered.

Definition at line 1486 of file thread_management.h.

◆ task_group

template<typename RT = void>
tbb::task_group Threads::Task< RT >::TaskData::task_group
private

A task group object we can wait for.
