A type meeting the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Executor</span></code>
requirements embodies a set of rules for determining how submitted function
objects are to be executed.
</p>
<p>
A type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">X</span></code> meets the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Executor</span></code> requirements if it satisfies the
requirements of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">CopyConstructible</span></code>
(C++Std [copyconstructible]) and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Destructible</span></code>
(C++Std [destructible]), as well as the additional requirements listed below.
</p>
<p>
No constructor, comparison operator, copy operation, move operation, swap
operation, or member functions <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">context</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">on_work_started</span></code>, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">on_work_finished</span></code> on these types shall exit
via an exception.
</p>
<p>
The executor copy constructor, comparison operators, and other member functions
defined in these requirements shall not introduce data races as a result
of concurrent calls to those functions from different threads.
</p>
<p>
Let <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ctx</span></code> be the execution
context returned by the executor's <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">context</span><span class="special">()</span></code> member function. An executor becomes <span class="emphasis"><em>invalid</em></span>
when the first call to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ctx</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">shutdown</span><span class="special">()</span></code> returns. The effect of calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">on_work_started</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">on_work_finished</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">dispatch</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">post</span></code>,
or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">defer</span></code> on an invalid executor
is undefined. [<span class="emphasis"><em>Note:</em></span> The copy constructor, comparison
