It has the desired /// property of being nonblocking to the caller. Of course the `.then()` /// code is deferred until the produced value (or exception) is ready, /// but no code actually blocks pending completion of other operations. /// /// The promise/future mechanism is limited to a single object of some arbitrary /// type. It also supports a (logically) void result, i.e., in cases where the /// continuation/consumer (the `.then()` code if using the above pattern) is not /// expecting a value because the 'producer' is running for its side-effects. /// /// The primary data movement is from producer to consumer, however Promise and /// Future also provide a mechanism where the consumer can send an interruption /// message to the producer. The meaning and response to that interruption /// message is controlled by the promise; see `Promise::setInterruptHandler()`. /// /// Neither Promise nor Future is thread-safe. All internal interactions /// between a promise and its associated future are thread-safe, provided that /// callers otherwise honor the promise's contract and the future's contract. /// /// Logically there are up to three threads (though in practice there are often /// fewer - one thread might take on more than one role): /// /// - Set-up thread: thread used to construct the Promise, and often also to /// set up the SemiFuture/Future. /// - Producer thread: thread that produces the result. /// - Consumer thread: thread in which the continuation is invoked (a /// continuation is a callback provided to `.then` or to a variant). /// /// For description purposes, the term 'shared state' is used to describe the /// logical state shared by the promise and the future. This 'third object' /// represents things like whether the result has been fulfilled, the value or /// exception in that result, and the data needed to handle interruption /// requests. /// /// A promise can be in various logical states: /// /// - valid vs. invalid (has vs. does not have a shared state, respectfully). /// - fulfilled vs. unfulfilled (an invalid promise is always fulfilled; a valid /// promise is fulfilled if the shared-state has a result). /// /// A promise `p` may optionally have an associated future.
