std::packaged_task
 
packaged_task() noexcept;
 (1) (since C++11)
template< class F >
explicit packaged_task( F&& f );
 (2) (since C++11)
template< class F, class Allocator >
explicit packaged_task( std::allocator_arg_t, const Allocator& a, F&& f );
 (3) (since C++11)
(until C++17)
packaged_task( const packaged_task& ) = delete;
 (4) (since C++11)
packaged_task( packaged_task&& rhs ) noexcept;
 (5) (since C++11)

Constructs a new std::packaged_task object.

1) Constructs a std::packaged_task object with no task and no shared state.
2,3) Constructs a std::packaged_task object with a shared state and a copy of the task, initialized with std::forward<F>(f). The allocator a is used to allocate memory necessary to store the task. (until C++17)
  • These constructors do not (until C++17)This constructor does not (since C++17) participate in overload resolution if std::decay<F>::type is the same type as std::packaged_task<R(ArgTypes...)>.
  • The program is ill-formed if INVOKE<R>(std::forward<F>(f), std::declval<Args>()...) is ill-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand (i.e. std::is_invocable_r_v<R, F, Args...> is not true) (since C++17).
  • The behavior is undefined if the invocation on a copy of f behaves different from that on f.
4) The copy constructor is deleted, std::packaged_task is move-only.
5) Constructs a std::packaged_task with the shared state and task formerly owned by rhs, leaving rhs with no shared state and a moved-from task.

Parameters

f - the callable target (function, member function, lambda expression, function object) to execute
a - the allocator to use when storing the task
rhs - the std::packaged_task to move from

Exceptions

2) Any exceptions thrown by copy/move constructor of f and possibly std::bad_alloc if the allocation fails.
3) Any exceptions thrown by copy/move constructor of f and by the allocator's allocate function if memory allocation fails.

Example

Run this code
#include <future>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
 
int fib(int n)
{
    if (n < 3)
        return 1;
    else return
        fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
 
int main()
{
    std::packaged_task<int(int)> fib_task(&fib); 
 
    std::cout << "starting task\n";
    auto result = fib_task.get_future();
    std::thread t(std::move(fib_task), 42);
 
    std::cout << "waiting for task to finish..." << std::endl;
    std::cout << result.get() << '\n';
 
    std::cout << "task complete\n";
    t.join();
}

Output: 

starting task
waiting for task to finish...
267914296
task complete
