Why does a single-threaded example of std::promise-std::future throw?-CodePudding

The following code throws std::system_error on recent g , clang compilers and I do not know why. MSVC seems to work.

I was under the impression multi-threaded context is not necessary for promise and future to work.

#include <future>
 
int main() {
    std::promise<int> p;
    std::future<int> f = p.get_future();
 
    p.set_value(1); //throws std::system_error
    return f.get();
}

I fail to see how I am using std::promise::set_value incorrectly - p is valid and not set yet. Can anyone enlighten me please?

It works with clang -stdlib=libc so the issue is somewhere in libstdc , am I running into undefined behaviour or a bug?

CodePudding user response：

If I remember correctly, std::future depends on thread. So, you would need to link against -pthread.
