std::shared_future::wait(3)

NAME
std::shared_future::wait - std::shared_future::wait

Synopsis
   void wait() const; (since C++11)
   Blocks until the result becomes available. valid() == true after the call.
   The behavior is undefined if valid() == false before the call to this function.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   (none)

Exceptions
   May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Notes
   The implementations are encouraged to detect the case when valid() == false before
   the call and throw a std::future_error with an error condition of
   std::future_errc::no_state.
   Calling wait on the same std::shared_future from multiple threads is not safe; the
   intended use is for each thread that waits on the same shared state to have a copy
   of a std::shared_future.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <chrono>
 #include <future>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <thread>
 int fib(int n)
 {
     if (n < 3)
         return 1;
     else
         return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
 }
 int main()
 {
     std::shared_future<int> f1 = std::async(std::launch::async, []() { return fib(40); });
     std::shared_future<int> f2 = std::async(std::launch::async, []() { return fib(43); });
     std::cout << "waiting... " << std::flush;
     const auto start = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
     f1.wait();
     f2.wait();
     const auto diff = std::chrono::system_clock::now() - start;
     std::cout << std::chrono::duration<double>(diff).count() << " seconds\n";
     std::cout << "f1: " << f1.get() << '\n';
     std::cout << "f2: " << f2.get() << '\n';
 }

Possible output:
 waiting... 1.61803 seconds
 f1: 102334155
 f2: 433494437
