concurrency
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A typeclass abstraction over much of Control.Concurrent (and some
|
||
|
|
extras!). If you're looking for a general introduction to Haskell
|
||
|
|
concurrency, you should check out the excellent
|
||
|
|
[Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell][parconc], by Simon
|
||
|
|
Marlow. If you are already familiar with concurrent Haskell, just
|
||
|
|
change all the imports from Control.Concurrent.* to
|
||
|
|
Control.Concurrent.Classy.* and fix the type errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A brief list of supported functionality:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Threads: the `forkIO*` and `forkOn*` functions, although bound
|
||
|
|
threads are not supported.
|
||
|
|
- Getting and setting capablities.
|
||
|
|
- Yielding and delaying.
|
||
|
|
- Mutable state: STM, `MVar`, and `IORef`.
|
||
|
|
- Atomic compare-and-swap for `IORef`.
|
||
|
|
- Exceptions.
|
||
|
|
- All of the data structures in Control.Concurrent.* and
|
||
|
|
Control.Concurrent.STM.* have typeclass-abstracted equivalents.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is quite a rich set of functionality, although it is not
|
||
|
|
complete. If there is something else you need, file an issue!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This used to be part of dejafu, but with the dejafu-0.4.0.0 release,
|
||
|
|
it was split out into its own package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The documentation of the latest developmental version is
|
||
|
|
[available online][docs].
