Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class madness::Future< T >

A future is a possibly yet unevaluated value.

Uses delegation to FutureImpl to provide desired copy/assignment semantics, as well as safe reference counting for remote futures.

Since we are using futures a lot to store local values coming from containers and inside task wrappers for messages, we included in this class a value. If a future is assigned before a copy/remote-reference is taken, the shared pointer is never made. The point of this is to eliminate the two mallocs that must be peformed for every new shared_ptr.

Template Parameters

T	The type of future.

Todo:: Can this detailed description be made clearer?

◆ remote_ref()

template<typename T >

remote_refT madness::Future< T >::remote_ref ( World & world ) const

inline

Returns a structure used to pass references to another process.

This is used for passing pointers/references to another process. To make remote references completely safe, the RemoteReference increments the internal reference count of the Future. The counter is decremented by either assigning to the remote Future or its destructor if it is never assigned. The remote Future is only useful for setting the future. It will not be notified if the value is set elsewhere.

If this is already a reference to a remote future, the actual remote reference is returned; that is, not a a reference to the local future. Therefore, the local future will not be notified when the result is set (i.e., the communication is short circuited).

Parameters

[in,out] world The communication world.

Todo:: Verify the return comment.

Returns: The remote reference.

◆ set() [1/4]

template<typename T >

void madness::Future< T >::set ( const archive::BufferInputArchive & input_arch )

inline

Assigns the value.

The value can only be set once.

Todo:: Description needed.

Parameters

[in] input_arch Description needed.

References madness::Future< T >::f, and MADNESS_CHECK.

◆ set() [2/4]

template<typename T >

void madness::Future< T >::set ( const Future< T > & other )

inline

A.set(B), where A and B are futures ensures A has/will have the same value as B.

An exception is thrown if A is already assigned since a Future is a single assignment variable. We don't yet track multiple assignments from unassigned futures.

If B is already assigned, this is the same as A.set(B.get()), which sets A to the value of B.

If B has not yet been assigned, the behavior is to ensure that, when B is assigned, both A and B will be assigned and have the same value (though they may/may not refer to the same underlying copy of the data and indeed may even be in different processes).

Todo:: Verification needed in the param statement.

Parameters

[in] other The future B described above. *this is A.
