Data.IORef.MonadIO

Description

Overloads the standard operations on IORefs, as defined in Data.IORef. This module is name-for-name swappable with Data.IORef unless ghc-specific operations like weak pointers are used.

The standard operations on IORef (such as newIORef, or modifyIORef) are overloaded over the MonadIO class. A monad m is declared an instance of MonadIO by defining a function

liftIO :: IO a -> m a

Synopsis

Documentation

class Monad m => MonadIO (m :: * -> *) where #

Monads in which IO computations may be embedded. Any monad built by applying a sequence of monad transformers to the IO monad will be an instance of this class.

Instances should satisfy the following laws, which state that liftIO is a transformer of monads:

Minimal complete definition

liftIO

Methods

liftIO :: IO a -> m a #

Lift a computation from the IO monad.

Instances

MonadIO IO

Since: 4.9.0.0

Methods
