能否在C ++ 11中检索线程函数的返回值？

Question

If a function has a non-void return value and I join it using the .join function then is there any way to retrieve its return value?

Here is a simplified example:

float myfunc(int k)
{
  return exp(k);
}

int main()
{
  std::thread th=std::thread(myfunc, 10);

  th.join();

  //Where is the return value?
}

Answer 1

You can follow this sample code to get the return value from a thread :-

int main()
{
  auto future = std::async(func_1, 2);          

  //More code later

  int number = future.get(); //Whole program waits for this

  // Do something with number

  return 0;
}

In short, .get() gets the return value, you can typecast and use it then.

my own solution:

#include <thread>
void function(int value, int *toreturn)
{
 *toreturn = 10;
}

int main()
{
 int value;
 std::thread th = std::thread(&function, 10, &value);
 th.join();
}
