My question is does std::promise
notify the associated std::future
through using a std::condition_variable
?
I search the source code of std::promise
and found this website. But I didn't see std::promise
has std::condition_variable
in its member data.
Here's an answer for libc++.
A search for condition_variable
in <future>
returned exactly one result:
// lines 531 -- 538
class _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS _LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_FUTURE __assoc_sub_state
: public __shared_count
{
protected:
exception_ptr __exception_;
mutable mutex __mut_;
mutable condition_variable __cv_;
unsigned __state_;
Here __assoc_sub_state
is introduced. It is the base class for __assoc_state
:
// lines 617 -- 619
template <class _Rp>
class _LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_FUTURE __assoc_state
: public __assoc_sub_state
And finally, __assoc_state<_Rp>*
is both a member of future<_Rp>
:
// lines 1082 -- 1085
template <class _Rp>
class _LIBCPP_TEMPLATE_VIS _LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_FUTURE future
{
__assoc_state<_Rp>* __state_;
and a member of promise<_Rp>
:
// lines 1360 -- 1363
template <class _Rp>
class _LIBCPP_TEMPLATE_VIS _LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_FUTURE promise
{
__assoc_state<_Rp>* __state_;
So yeah, libc++ std::promise
internally uses a std::condition_variable
to notify the associated std::future
.
