std::shared_future::valid(3)

NAME
std::shared_future::valid - std::shared_future::valid

Synopsis
   bool valid() const noexcept; (since C++11)
   Checks if the future refers to a shared state.
   This is the case only for futures that were not default-constructed or moved from.
   Unlike std::future, std::shared_future's shared state is not invalidated when get()
   is called.
   The behavior is undefined if any member function other than the destructor, the
   copy-assignment operator, the move-assignment operator, or valid is called on a
   shared_future that does not refer to shared state (although implementations are
   encouraged to throw std::future_error indicating no_state in this case). It is valid
   to move or copy from a shared_future object for which valid() is false.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   true if *this refers to a shared state, otherwise false.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <future>
 #include <iostream>
 int main()
 {
     std::promise<void> p;
     std::shared_future<void> f = p.get_future();
     std::cout << std::boolalpha;
     std::cout << f.valid() << '\n';
     p.set_value();
     std::cout << f.valid() << '\n';
     f.get();
     std::cout << f.valid() << '\n';
 }

Output:
 true
 true
 true
