<div class="t-li1"><span class="t-li">2)</span> non-void specialization, used to communicate objects between threads</div>
<div class="t-li1"><span class="t-li">3)</span> void specialization, used to communicate stateless events</div>
<p>The class template <code>std::promise</code> provides a facility to store a value or an exception that is later acquired asynchronously via a <span class="t-lc">std::future</span> object created by the <code>std::promise</code> object.
</p><p>Each promise is associated with a <i>shared state</i>, which contains some state information and a <i>result</i> which may be not yet evaluated, evaluated to a value (possibly void) or evaluated to an exception. A promise may do three things with the shared state:
</p>
<ul><li> <i>make ready</i>: the promise stores the result or the exception in the shared state. Marks the state ready and unblocks any thread waiting on a future associated with the shared state.
</li><li> <i>release</i>: the promise gives up its reference to the shared state. If this was the last such reference, the shared state is destroyed. Unless this was a shared state created by <span class="t-c"><span class="mw-geshi cpp source-cpp"><a href="async.html"><span class="kw1861">std::<span class="me2">async</span></span></a></span></span> which is not yet ready, this operation does not block.
</li><li> <i>abandon</i>: the promise stores the exception of type <span class="t-lc">std::future_error</span> with error code <span class="t-lc">std::future_errc::broken_promise</span>, makes the shared state <i>ready</i>, and then <i>releases</i> it.
</li></ul>
<p>The promise is the "push" end of the promise-future communication channel: the operation that stores a value in the shared state <i>synchronizes-with</i> (as defined in <span class="t-lc">std::memory_order</span>) the successful return from any function that is waiting on the shared state (such as <span class="t-lc">std::future::get</span>). Concurrent access to the same shared state may conflict otherwise: for example multiple callers of <span class="t-lc">std::shared_future::get</span> must either all be read-only or provide external synchronization.
</p>
