void arrive_and_wait(); |  | (concurrency TS)

Blocks and arrives at the `flex_barrier`'s synchronization point.

The behavior is undefined if the calling thread is not in the set of participating threads of this `flex_barrier`.

Calls to `arrive_and_wait` synchronizes with the start of the completion phase of the `flex_barrier`. The completion of the completion phase synchronizes with the return from the call.

Calls to `arrive_and_drop` and `arrive_and_wait` never introduce data races with themselves or each other.

### Notes

It is safe for a thread to call either `arrive_and_wait()` or `arrive_and_drop()` immediately on return from this call (provided that the function object for the completion phase did not return zero). It's not necessary to ensure that all blocked threads have exited `arrive_and_wait()` before a thread calls it again.

The completion phase executes the function object specified when the `flex_barrier` was constructed. If it returns -1, the set of participating threads is unchanged; otherwise, the set of participating threads is a new set with the size equal to the return value `N`, and consists of the next `N` threads to arrive at the synchronization point. If N == 0, the `flex_barrier` can only be destroyed.

The initial set of participating threads for a `flex_barrier` constructed for `num_threads` threads is the first `num_threads` to arrive at its synchronization point.

### Exceptions

Throws nothing.
