[Modern C++]现代C++中优雅的异步操作

背景

现代C++提供了一些很好的特性可以让我们实现优雅、高效的异步操作，今天向大家简要地介绍一下。

std::async

std::async(std::launch::async | std::launch::deferred, f, args...)

• f为需要异步执行的函数，

• args为f函数的参数，

• 第一个参数可选，在Visiual C++中默认为std::launch::async,即创建的future对象在创建完成后立即异步执行，当第一个参数为std::launch::deferred时表示future对象延迟执行。

样例

代码

#include <iostream>
#include <future>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    auto future1 = async([](int &&x)->int{
        auto ret = 0;
        for(auto i = 0; i < x; i++){
            this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(1));
            ret += i;
            cout << "Task 1 calculating to "  << x - 1 << " and now the turn is " << i << " and the value is " << ret << endl;
        }
        return ret;
    },10);    //future1 立即异步执行
    auto future2 = async([](int &&x)->int{
        auto ret = 1;
        for(auto i = 1; i < x + 1; i++){
            this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(2));
            ret *= i;
            cout << "Task 2 calculating to "  << x << " and now the turn is " << i << " and the value is " << ret << endl;
        }
        return ret;
    },5);     //future2 立即异步执行
    std::cout << "waiting...\n";
    cout << "Result of task 1: " << future1.get() << endl;
    cout << "Result of task 2: " << future2.get() << endl;
}

指定参数为std::launch::deffered

#include <iostream>
#include <future>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    auto future1 = async(launch::deferred,[](int &&x)->int{
        auto ret = 0;
        for(auto i = 0; i < x; i++){
            this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(1));
            ret += i;
            cout << "Task 1 calculating to "  << x - 1 << " and now the turn is " << i << " and the value is " << ret << endl;
        }
        return ret;
    },10);    //future1 并不会立即异步执行
    auto future2 = async(launch::deferred,[](int &&x)->int{
        auto ret = 1;
        for(auto i = 1; i < x + 1; i++){
            this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::seconds(2));
            ret *= i;
            cout << "Task 2 calculating to "  << x << " and now the turn is " << i << " and the value is " << ret << endl;
        }
        return ret;
    },5);    //future2 并不会立即异步执行
    std::cout << "waiting...\n";
    cout << "Result of task 1: " << future1.get() << endl; //future1在此时执行
    cout << "Result of task 2: " << future2.get() << endl; //futute2在此时执行
}
