when_all Function

Creates a task that will complete successfully when all of the tasks supplied as arguments complete successfully.

template <
   typename _Iterator
>
auto when_all(
   _Iterator_Begin,
   _Iterator_End
) -> decltype (details::_WhenAllImpl<std::iterator_traits<_Iterator>::value_type::result_type, _Iterator>::_Perform(nullptr, _Begin, _End));

template <
   typename _Iterator
>
auto when_all(
   _Iterator_Begin,
   _Iterator_End,
   cancellation_token _CancellationToken
) -> decltype (details::_WhenAllImpl<std::iterator_traits<_Iterator>::value_type::result_type, _Iterator>::_Perform(_CancellationToken._GetImplValue(), _Begin, _End));

Parameters

  • _Iterator
    The type of the input iterator.

  • _Begin
    The position of the first element in the range of elements to be combined into the resulting task.

  • _End
    The position of the first element beyond the range of elements to be combined into the resulting task.

  • _CancellationToken
    The cancellation token which controls cancellation of the returned task. If you do not provide a cancellation token, the resulting task will be created with a token that is a combination of all the cancelable tokens (tokens created by methods other than **cancellation_token::none()**of the tasks supplied.

Return Value

A task that completes sucessfully when all of the input tasks have completed successfully. If the input tasks are of type T, the output of this function will be a task<std::vector<T>>. If the input tasks are of type void the output task will also be a task<void>.

Remarks

when_all is a non-blocking function that produces a task as its result. Unlike task::wait, it is safe to call this function in a Windows Store app on the ASTA (Application STA) thread.

If one of the tasks is canceled or throws an exception, the returned task will complete early, in the canceled state, and the exception, if one is encoutered, will be thrown if you call task::get or task::wait on that task.
