async_result

An interface for customising the behaviour of an initiating function.

template<
    typename CompletionToken,
    typename Signature>
class async_result

Types

Name	Description
completion_handler_type	The concrete completion handler type for the specific signature.
return_type	The return type of the initiating function.

Member Functions

Name	Description
async_result	Construct an async result from a given handler.
get	Obtain the value to be returned from the initiating function.

The async_result traits class is used for determining:

the concrete completion handler type to be called at the end of the asynchronous operation;
the initiating function return type; and
how the return value of the initiating function is obtained.

The trait allows the handler and return types to be determined at the point where the specific completion handler signature is known.

This template may be specialised for user-defined completion token types. The primary template assumes that the CompletionToken is the completion handler.
