• develop:

This library provides futures and channels, high level constructs for implementing algorithms that eases the use ofmultiple CPU cores while minimizing contention. This library solves several problems of the C++11 and C++17 TS futures.

The complete documentation is available on thestlab home page.

Release changelogs are listed inCHANGES.md.

First, you will need the following tools:

• conan (download)
• CMake (download)
• (Mac) Xcode 8.2.1 or later
• (MSVC) Visual Studio 2017.9 or later

conan andcmake are available on the Mac viaHomebrew.cmake is available on Windows viascoop.

Once they're set up, run eithersetup_xcode.sh orsetup_msvc.bat for the platform of your choice. It will setup all necessary library dependencies and create the platform-specific project file in the./build/ directory.

Microsoft Windows Platform Build Notes:

• If you are usingconan for the first time, add--build missing to conan command call insetup_msvc.bat script
• Use administrator command prompt if you get issues in manifest creation duringsetup_msvc.bat run (ex:mt : general error c101008d)

• Currently we are redesigning the interface of thefuture class. We will make the associated executor of a task more explicit by removing the implicit "inheritance" of the executors from the previous future. So a continuation will not get automatically the same executor from its predecessor. If non is provided, then it will be automatically be executed via theimmediate_executor.
• As well we will remove all.then() and.recover() functions from thefuture interface. Only theoperator|() andoperator^() will remain. So the pipe notation, as it is comming with C++20 ranges, will become the only choice. Obviously this will be a breaking change.
• In parallel we think about changing the then formerrecover() function signature, see issue#263.
