1--std::async creates an asynchronous task
std::async creates an asynchronous task , which does not necessarily create a new thread to execute the task;
When using std::launch::deferred , the asynchronous task does not create a new thread ;
When using std::launch::async , the operating system will force the creation of a new thread to perform asynchronous tasks;
When std::async creates an asynchronous task without explicitly pointing out the use of std::launch::deferred or std::launch::async, the operating system will randomly adopt a method to execute the asynchronous task (when the system resources are sufficient, A new thread will be created first, otherwise the execution of the asynchronous task will be delayed), you can use std::future_status to determine which state the asynchronous task is in ( wait for 0 seconds to judge);
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <future>
int thread(){
std::cout << "thread id: " << std::this_thread::get_id() << std::endl;
return -1;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
std::cout << "thread id: " << std::this_thread::get_id() << std::endl;
// std::future<int> result = std::async(std::launch::deferred, thread); //不会创建一个新线程
std::future<int> result = std::async(std::launch::async, thread); //强制创建一个新线程
std::cout << "result.get(): " << result.get() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Use std::future_status to determine which state the asynchronous task is in ( wait for 0 seconds to judge);
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <future>
int thread(){
std::cout << "thread id: " << std::this_thread::get_id() << std::endl;
return -1;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
std::cout << "thread id: " << std::this_thread::get_id() << std::endl;
std::future<int> result = std::async(thread);
std::future_status status = result.wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(0));
if(status == std::future_status::deferred) { // 异步任务会延迟执行
std::cout << "deferred running" << std::endl;
std::cout << "result.get(): " << result.get() << std::endl;
}
else{ // 创建新线程来执行异步任务,还需进一步判断是否超时
std::cout << "create new thread" << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
