I had a giant misunderstanding of what 'synchronizes with' meant in [futures.async]/p5. This invalidated the current design of async in <future>. This is a new design, based on my new understanding, which has been confirmed on the lwg mailing list. The summary is that ~future() (and ~shared_future()) will block when they are created from within async, and the thread hasn't finished yet. As part of this work I created two new type traits: __invokable<F, Args...>::value and __invoke_of<F, Args...>::type. These are what result_of<F(Args...)> wanted to be when it grew up, but never will be. __invoke_of is carefully crafted so that it can serve as its own enable_if (type doesn't exist if the signature isn't invokable). All of this work is C++11 only. llvm-svn: 131639
