{-# LANGUAGE Trustworthy #-} {- | This module exposes useful concurrency abstrations for 'LIO'. This module is, in part, analogous to "Control.Concurrent". Specifically, LIO provides a means for spawning 'LIO' computations in a new thread with 'forkLIO'. LIO relies on the lightweight threads managed by Haskell's runtime system; we do not provide a way to fork OS-level threads. In addition to this, LIO also provides 'lFork' and 'lWait' which allow forking of a computation that is restricted from reading data more sensitive than a given upper bound. This limit is different from clearance in that it allows the computation to spawn additional threads with an upper bound above said upper bound label, but below the clearance. The 'lFork' function should be used whenever an LIO computation wishes to execute a sub-computation that may raise the current label (up to the supplied upper bound). To this end, the current label only needs to be raised when the computation is interested in reading the result of the sub-computation. The role of 'lWait' is precisely this: raise the current label and return the result of such a sub-computation. -} module LIO.Concurrent ( LabeledResult , ThreadId, myThreadId -- * Forking new threads , forkLIO, lForkP, lFork -- * Waiting on threads , lWaitP, lWait , trylWaitP, trylWait , threadDelay -- * Forcing computations (EXPERIMENTAL) , AsyncException(..) , lBracket, lBracketP ) where import Control.Monad import Control.Concurrent hiding ( myThreadId, threadDelay ) import qualified Control.Concurrent as C import Control.Exception ( toException , Exception , AsyncException(..)) import LIO.Label import LIO.Core import LIO.Labeled import LIO.Labeled.TCB import LIO.Privs import LIO.TCB import LIO.Concurrent.TCB import LIO.Concurrent.LMVar import LIO.Concurrent.LMVar.TCB (tryTakeLMVarTCB, putLMVarTCB) -- | Get the 'ThreadId' of the calling thread. myThreadId :: MonadLIO l m => m ThreadId myThreadId = liftLIO $ ioTCB C.myThreadId -- -- Fork -- -- | Execute an 'LIO' computation in a new lightweight thread.

Moreover, before block-reading, @lWait@ raises the current -- label to the join of the current label and label of result. An -- exception is thrown by the underlying 'guardWrite' if this is not the -- case. Additionally, if the thread terminates with an exception (for -- example if it violates clearance), the exception is rethrown by -- @lWait@. Similarly, if the thread reads values above the result label, -- an exception is thrown in place of the result. lWait :: MonadLIO l m => LabeledResult l a -> m a lWait = lWaitP NoPrivs -- | Same as 'lWait', but uses priviliges in label checks and raises. lWaitP :: (MonadLIO l m, Priv l p) => p -> LabeledResult l a -> m a lWaitP p m = do v <- readLMVarP p $ lresResultTCB m -- kill thread: liftLIO . ioTCB . killThread . lresThreadIdTCB $ m case v of Right x -> return x Left e -> liftLIO $ unlabeledThrowTCB e -- | Same as 'lWait', but does not block waiting for result. trylWait :: MonadLIO l m => LabeledResult l a -> m (Maybe a) trylWait = trylWaitP NoPrivs -- | Same as 'trylWait', but uses priviliges in label checks and raises. trylWaitP :: (MonadLIO l m, Priv l p) => p -> LabeledResult l a -> m (Maybe a) trylWaitP p m = do let mvar = lresResultTCB m mv <- tryTakeLMVarP p mvar case mv of Just v -> do putLMVarP p mvar v -- kill thread: liftLIO . ioTCB . killThread . lresThreadIdTCB $ m case v of Right x -> return $!
