# std::packaged_task::make_ready_at_thread_exit

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | thread‎ | packaged task

void make_ready_at_thread_exit( ArgTypes... args ); |  | (since C++11)

Calls the stored task with forwarded `args` as the arguments. The return value of the task or any exception thrown by it is stored in the shared state of *this.

The shared state is only made ready after the current thread exits and all objects of thread local storage duration are destroyed.

### Parameters

args | - | the parameters to pass on invocation of the stored task

### Return value

(none)

### Exceptions

std::future_error on the following error conditions:

- The stored task has already been invoked. The error category is set to `promise_already_satisfied`.
- *this has no shared state. The error category is set to `no_state`.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <future>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <chrono>
    #include <thread>
    #include <functional>
    #include <utility>

    void worker(std::future<void>& output)
    {
        std::packaged_task<void(bool&)> my_task{ [](bool& done) { done=true; } };

        auto result = my_task.get_future();

        bool done = false;

        my_task.make_ready_at_thread_exit(done); // execute task right away

        std::cout << "worker: done = " << std::boolalpha << done << std::endl;

        auto status = result.wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(0));
        if (status == std::future_status::timeout)
            std::cout << "worker: result is not ready yet" << std::endl;

        output = std::move(result);
    }

    int main()
    {
        std::future<void> result;

        std::thread{worker, std::ref(result)}.join();

        auto status = result.wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(0));
        if (status == std::future_status::ready)
            std::cout << "main: result is ready" << std::endl;
    }

Output:

    worker: done = true
    worker: result is not ready yet
    main: result is ready
