std::packaged_task<R(Args...)>::make_ready_at_thread_exit

Since C++11

Calls the stored task as if by INVOKE(f, args…), where f is the stored task. The return value of the task or any exception thrown by it is stored in the shared state of *this.

# Declarations

void make_ready_at_thread_exit( ArgTypes... args );

(since C++11)

# Parameters

args: the parameters to pass on invocation of the stored task

# Return value

(none)
