The enum type launch is a bitmask type with elements launch::async and launch::deferred. [ Note: Implementations can provide bitmasks to specify restrictions on task interaction by functions launched by async() applicable to a corresponding subset of available launch policies. Implementations can extend the behavior of the first overload of async() by adding their extensions to the launch policy under the “as if” rule. — end note ]
