{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-} -- | A runner for concurrent monads to systematically detect -- concurrency errors such as data races and deadlocks. -- -- As an example, consider this program, which has two locks and a -- shared variable. Two threads are spawned, which claim the locks, -- update the shared variable, and release the locks. The main thread -- waits for them both to terminate, and returns the final result. -- -- > bad :: ConcCVar cvar m => m Int -- > bad = do -- > a <- newEmptyCVar -- > b <- newEmptyCVar -- > -- > c <- newCVar 0 -- > -- > j1 <- spawn $ lock a >> lock b >> modifyCVar_ c (return . succ) >> unlock b >> unlock a -- > j2 <- spawn $ lock b >> lock a >> modifyCVar_ c (return . pred) >> unlock a >> unlock b -- > -- > takeCVar j1 -- > takeCVar j2 -- > -- > takeCVar c -- -- The correct result is 0, as it starts out as 0 and is incremented -- and decremented by threads 1 and 2, respectively. However, note the -- order of acquisition of the locks in the two threads. If thread 2 -- pre-empts thread 1 between the acquisition of the locks (or if -- thread 1 pre-empts thread 2), a deadlock situation will arise, as -- thread 1 will have lock `a` and be waiting on `b`, and thread 2 -- will have `b` and be waiting on `a`. module Control.Monad.Conc.SCT ( -- *Systematic Concurrency Testing SCTScheduler , Trace , Decision(..) , runSCT -- * Schedulers , sctRandom , sctRandomNP -- * Utilities , toSCT , showTrace ) where import Control.Monad.Conc.Fixed import System.Random (RandomGen) -- | An @SCTScheduler@ is like a regular 'Scheduler', except it builds -- a trace of scheduling decisions made. type SCTScheduler s = Scheduler (s, Trace) -- | A @Trace@ is just a list of all the decisions that were made, -- with the alternative decisions that could have been made at each -- step. type Trace = [(Decision, [Decision])] -- | Scheduling decisions are based on the state of the running -- program, and so we can capture some of that state in recording what -- specific decision we made. data Decision = Start ThreadId -- ^ Start a new thread, because the last was blocked (or it's the -- initial thread). | Continue -- ^ Continue running the last thread for another step. | SwitchTo ThreadId -- ^ Pre-empt the running thread, and switch to another. deriving (Eq, Show) -- | Run a concurrent program under a given scheduler a number of -- times, collecting the results and the scheduling that gave rise to -- them. -- -- The initial state for each run is the final state of the last run, -- so it is important that the scheduler actually maintain some -- internal state, or all the results will be identical. runSCT :: SCTScheduler s -> s -> Int -> (forall t.
