When I fix it, the continuation would not be called immediately but as the doc states it should

Ah yes, ok, so it will be called at least when future.get() will be called, if I understood correctly?

 

1.

   ft.then( []( future<T> f ) { return 42; } ); 

This will not compile (VS2012U3) because there is an attempt to copy future<T> (which looks like a bug I reported where returning a future would

trigger copy instead of moving the future, bug fixed since then so I'm a bit surprise about this one)

Currently the prototype of a continuation takes a future by reference, but I could change it to by value (which need to move the future.

I thought the original standard proposition was moving the future into the callback, or is this point under discussion?
