for returning a C++11 std::future from an asynchronous operation's
initiating function.
To use asio::use_future, pass it to an asynchronous operation instead of
a normal completion handler. For example:
std::future<std::size_t> length =
my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer, asio::use_future);
Where a completion handler signature has the form:
void handler(error_code ec, result_type result);
the initiating function returns a std::future templated on result_type.
In the above example, this is std::size_t. If the asynchronous operation
fails, the error_code is converted into a system_error exception and
passed back to the caller through the future.
Where a completion handler signature has the form:
void handler(error_code ec);
the initiating function returns std::future<void>. As above, an error
is passed back in the future as a system_error exception.
