there is an error with the

static const char *const _Future_messages[] =
{   // messages for future errors
"broken promise",
"future already retrieved",
"promise already satisfied",

this code generated an invalid acceso to "_Future_messages" because _Mycode.value() return 4.

    const char *__CLR_OR_THIS_CALL what() const _THROW0()
    {   // get message string

// code example

    std::future empty;
try {
    int n = empty.get();
} catch (const std::future_error& e) {
   const error_code eCode = e.code();
   char *sValue = (char*)e.what();
   std::cout << "Caught a future_error with code " << eCode.message()
              << " - what" << sValue << endl;
