ghc-concurrent-extra 0.7.0.12 Extra concurrency primitives
This Haskell library offers (among other things) the following selection of synchronisation primitives:
Broadcast
: Wake multiple threads by broadcasting a value.Event
: Wake multiple threads by signalling an event.Lock
: Enforce exclusive access to a resource. Also known as a binary semaphore or mutex. The package additionally provides an alternative that works in the STM monad.RLock
: A lock which can be acquired multiple times by the same thread. Also known as a reentrant mutex.ReadWriteLock
: Multiple-reader, single-writer locks. Used to protect shared resources which may be concurrently read, but only sequentially written.ReadWriteVar
: Concurrent read, sequential write variables.
Please consult the API documentation of the individual modules for more detailed information.
This package was inspired by the concurrency libraries of Java and Python.
