{-| Module : Control.Concurrent.Bag.SafeConcurrent Description : Transformer based bag of tasks interface Copyright : (c) Bastian Holst, 2014 License : BSD3 Maintainer : bastianholst@gmx.de Stability : experimental Portability : POSIX High level bag of tasks interface based on "Control.Concurrent.Concurrent". Tasks can only return results and add new tasks as intended and it is not possible to add new tasks from the outside or from the action processing the results. This way it is possible to ensure that 'getResults' returns only 'Nothing' if it is safe to say that there will be no results anymore. -} module Control.Concurrent.Bag.SafeConcurrent ( BagT , newTaskBag , newEvalBag , newInterruptibleBag , newInterruptingBag , getResult , getAllResults , liftIO , lift , module Control.Concurrent.Bag.Task , BufferType (..) ) where import Control.Applicative import Control.Monad.Reader import qualified Control.Concurrent.Bag.Concurrent as Basic import Control.Concurrent.Bag.TaskBuffer import Control.Concurrent.Bag.Task import Control.Concurrent.Bag.BagT -- | Run the bag transformer. runBagT :: MonadIO m => BagT r m a -> Basic.Bag r -> m a runBagT (BagT reader) bag = runReaderT reader (Basic.getResult bag) -- | Like 'newTaskBag', but it takes a list of expressions that will be -- evaluated to weak head normal form using 'Prelude.seq'. -- -- __WARNING__: This does not evaluate to normal form, but only to weak head -- normal form. newEvalBag :: (MonadIO m) => BufferType -- ^ buffer type -> [r] -- ^ expressions to evaluate -> BagT r m a -- ^ action to process the results of the bag -> m a newEvalBag buf es = newTaskBag buf (map (\e -> e `seq` return $ Just e) es) -- | Initializes a new bag of tasks and starts a gang of workers threads.
