std::async is not working in c++11, linux platform












1















bool tf()
{
sleep(5000);
return true;
}

int main()
{
std::future<bool> bb = std::async(std::launch::async, tf);
bool b = false;
while(1)
{
if(b == true) break;

b = bb.get();
}

return 0;
}


why don't work?
I intended to terminate program after 5 seconds. However, the program is freezing.

    sleep take parameter in seconds. So your program goes to sleep for 500 seconds. Probably you mean usleep.

    As an aside: bb.get() will block your main thread until the future is completed or ruined. It does not make sense to call this method in a loop.

There is a much better alternative to the direct use of invoking a global sleep. Use the <chrono> header and the string literals it provides together with std::this_thread::sleep_for. This is less error prone, e.g.



#include <chrono>

// Bring the literals into the scope:
using namespace std::chrono_literals;

bool tf()
{
std::this_thread::sleep_for(5s);
// ^^ Awesome! How readable is this?!

return true;
}


Together with the rest of the snippet you posted, this should work as intended.
