Anubhav Bindlish 70f5bad436 Add writes to IORef in Env
Summary:
Here I try to populate the writes done as part of a Haxl computation
in an IORef inside the Environment.

`IVar` which is the synchornisation point,
also acts as the point where we store intermediate writes for Haxl
computations, so they can be memoized and reused whenever a memoized
computation is done again. This is done inside `getIVarWithWrites` function.

This works, because we create new IVars when running a memo computation
or a data fetch, and it is only at these places where we need to create a new
environment with empty writes to run the computation in. So I run every memoized
computation in a new environment (with empty writes) and populate the writes in this new
environment. At the end of the memoized computation, I look up these writes from the `IVar`
and also add them to the original environment. This way ultimately all writes are correctly
propagated upwards to the top level environment user passes to `runHaxl`.
This logic lives inside `execMemoNow`.

Changes in version 2.1.0.0

  • Add a new 'w' parameter to 'GenHaxl' to allow arbitrary writes during a computation. These writes are stored as a running log in the Env, and are not memoized. This allows users to extract information from a Haxl computation which throws. Our advise is to limit these writes to monitoring and debugging logs.

  • A 'WriteTree' constructor to maintain log of writes inside the Environment. This is defined to allow O(1) mappend.

Changes in version 2.0.1.1

  • Support for GHC 8.6.1
  • Bugfixes

Changes in version 2.0.1.0

  • Exported MemoVar from Haxl.Core.Memo
  • Updated the facebook example
  • Fixed some links in the documentation
  • Bump some version bounds

Changes in version 2.0.0.0

  • Completely rewritten internals to support arbitrarily overlapping I/O and computation. Haxl no longer runs batches of I/O in "rounds", waiting for all the I/O to complete before resuming the computation. In Haxl 2, we can spawn I/O that returns results in the background and computation fragments are resumed when the values they depend on are available. See tests/FullyAsyncTest.hs for an example.

  • A new PerformFetch constructor supports the new concurrency features: BackgroundFetch. The data source is expected to call putResult in the background on each BlockedFetch when its result is ready.

  • There is a generic DataSource implementation in Haxl.DataSource.ConcurrentIO for performing each I/O operation in a separate thread.

  • Lots of cleanup and refactoring of the APIs.

  • License changed from BSD+PATENTS to plain BSD3.

Changes in version 0.5.1.0

  • 'pAnd' and 'pOr' were added
  • 'asyncFetchAcquireRelease' was added
  • 'cacheResultWithShow' was exposed
  • GHC 8.2.1 compatibility

Changes in version 0.5.0.0

  • Rename 'Show1' to 'ShowP' (#62)

Changes in version 0.3.0.0

  • Some performance improvements, including avoiding quadratic slowdown with left-associated binds.

  • Documentation cleanup; Haxl.Core is the single entry point for the core and engine docs.

  • (>>) is now defined to be (*>), and therefore no longer forces sequencing. This can have surprising consequences if you are using Haxl with side-effecting data sources, so watch out!

  • New function withEnv, for running a sub-computation in a local Env

  • Add a higher-level memoization API, see 'memo'

  • Show is no longer required for keys in cachedComputation

  • Exceptions now have Eq instances
