I keep getting a compiler error when using the std::barrier
arrive
and wait
functions separately.
I've been trying to find examples of using these functions but I can't find them so I'm just shooting wild at this point.
It complaines that my arrival token is not an rvalue, so I changed the declaration to use &&
, but I'm not that familiar with how rvalues work.
Here's the code:
void thread_fn(std::barrier<>& sync_point)
{
/* Do 1st task... */
std::barrier<>::arrival_token&& arrival = sync_point.arrive();
/* Do 2nd task... */
/* Wait for everyone to finish 1st task */
sync_point.wait(arrival);
/* Do 3rd task... */
}
I get the compile error:
test.cpp: In function ‘void thread_fn(std::barrier<>&)’:
test.cpp:12:21: error: cannot bind rvalue reference of type ‘std::barrier<>::arrival_token&&’ to lvalue of type ‘std::barrier<>::arrival_token’
12 | sync_point.wait(arrival);
| ^~~~~~~
A variable with an rvalue reference type is an lvalue (arrival
is an lvalue).
std::barrier<>::wait
takes an arrival_token&&
, so you need to move from the lvalue:
sync_point.wait(std::move(arrival));
