task<T, E> models [sender](exec.snd.concepts#concept:sender "33.9.3 Sender concepts [exec.snd.concepts]") ([[exec.snd]](exec.snd "33.9 Senders"))
if T is void, a reference type, or a cv-unqualified
non-array object type and E is a class type[.](#1.sentence-1)

Otherwise a program that instantiates the definition of task<T, E> is ill-formed[.](#1.sentence-2)

The nested types of task template specializations
are determined based on the Environment parameter:

- [(2.1)](#2.1)

  allocator_type is Environment​::​allocator_type if that [*qualified-id*](expr.prim.id.qual#nt:qualified-id "7.5.5.3 Qualified names [expr.prim.id.qual]") is valid and denotes a type,allocator<byte> otherwise[.](#2.1.sentence-1)

- [(2.2)](#2.2)

  scheduler_type is Environment​::​scheduler_type if that [*qualified-id*](expr.prim.id.qual#nt:qualified-id "7.5.5.3 Qualified names [expr.prim.id.qual]") is valid and denotes a type,task_scheduler otherwise[.](#2.2.sentence-1)

- [(2.3)](#2.3)

  stop_source_type is Environment​::​stop_source_type if that [*qualified-id*](expr.prim.id.qual#nt:qualified-id "7.5.5.3 Qualified names [expr.prim.id.qual]") is valid and denotes a type,inplace_stop_source otherwise[.](#2.3.sentence-1)

- [(2.4)](#2.4)

  error_types is Environment​::​error_types if
that [*qualified-id*](expr.prim.id.qual#nt:qualified-id "7.5.5.3 Qualified names [expr.prim.id.qual]") is valid and denotes a type,completion_signatures<set_error_t(exception_ptr)> otherwise[.](#2.4.sentence-1)

A program is ill-formed if error_types is not a
specialization of completion_signatures<ErrorSigs...> orErrorSigs contains an element which is not of the formset_error_t(E) for some type E[.](#3.sentence-1)

The type alias completion_signatures is a specialization
of execution​::​completion_signatures with the template
arguments (in unspecified order):

- [(4.1)](#4.1)

set_value_t() if T is void,
and set_value_t(T) otherwise;

- [(4.2)](#4.2)

template arguments of the specialization ofexecution​::​completion_signatures denoted by error_types;
and

- [(4.3)](#4.3)

set_stopped_t()[.](#4.sentence-1)

allocator_type shall meet the *Cpp17Allocator* requirements[.](#5.sentence-1)
