C++11中std::async的使用详解

我是靠谱客的博主鳗鱼大神，最近开发中收集的这篇文章主要介绍C++11中std::async的使用详解，觉得挺不错的，现在分享给大家，希望可以做个参考。

概述

C++11中的std::async是个模板函数。std::async异步调用函数，在某个时候以Args作为参数(可变长参数)调用Fn，无需等待Fn执行完成就可返回，返回结果是个std::future对象。Fn返回的值可通过std::future对象的get成员函数获取。一旦完成Fn的执行，共享状态将包含Fn返回的值并ready。

std::async有两个版本：

1.无需显示指定启动策略，自动选择，因此启动策略是不确定的，可能是std::launch::async，也可能是std::launch::deferred，或者是两者的任意组合，取决于它们的系统和特定库实现。

2.允许调用者选择特定的启动策略。

std::async的启动策略类型是个枚举类enum class launch，包括：

1. std::launch::async：异步，启动一个新的线程调用Fn，该函数由新线程异步调用，并且将其返回值与共享状态的访问点同步。

2. std::launch::deferred：延迟，在访问共享状态时该函数才被调用。对Fn的调用将推迟到返回的std::future的共享状态被访问时(使用std::future的wait或get函数)。

参数Fn：可以为函数指针、成员指针、任何类型的可移动构造的函数对象(即类定义了operator()的对象)。Fn的返回值或异常存储在共享状态中以供异步的std::future对象检索。

参数Args：传递给Fn调用的参数，它们的类型应是可移动构造的。

返回值：当Fn执行结束时，共享状态的std::future对象准备就绪。std::future的成员函数get检索的值是Fn返回的值。当启动策略采用std::launch::async时，即使从不访问其共享状态，返回的std::future也会链接到被创建线程的末尾。在这种情况下，std::future的析构函数与Fn的返回同步。
