-- When dealing with \"hard bottoms\", i.e. non-terminating
-- computations that do not result in exceptions, the following functions
-- may be handy.
--
-- Note that a computation is considered to have terminated when it
-- has reached weak head normal form (i.e. something distinct from
-- bottom).

  | Exception E.SomeException

-- | @'timeOut' n c@ runs @c@ for at most @n@ seconds (modulo
-- scheduling issues).
--
--   * If the computation terminates before that, then @'Value' v@ is
--     returned, where @v@ is the resulting value. Note that this
--     value may be equal to bottom, e.g. if @c = 'return'
--     'B.bottom'@.
--
--   * If the computation does not terminate, then 'NonTermination' is
--     returned.
--
--   * If the computation raises an exception, then @'Exception' e@ is
--     returned, where @e@ is the exception.
--
-- Note that a user-defined exception is used to terminate the
-- computation, so if @c@ catches all exceptions, or blocks
-- asynchronous exceptions, then 'timeOut' may fail to function
-- properly.

-- | 'timeOutMicro' takes a delay in microseconds. Note that the
-- resolution is not necessarily very high (the last time I checked it
-- was 0.02 seconds when using the standard runtime system settings
-- for GHC).

-- it seems like a bad idea to kill the thread using killThread, which
-- raises @'AsyncException' 'ThreadKilled'@. We use the locally
-- defined type 'Die' instead.

-- | 'timeOut'' is a variant which can be used for pure
-- computations. The definition,
--
-- @
--   'timeOut'' n = 'timeOut' n . 'E.evaluate'
-- @
--
-- ensures that @'timeOut'' 1 'B.bottom'@ usually returns @'Exception'
-- \<something\>@. (@'timeOut' 1 ('return' 'B.bottom')@ usually
-- returns @'Value' 'B.bottom'@; in other words, the computation
-- reaches whnf almost immediately, defeating the purpose of the
-- time-out.)

timeOut' n = timeOut n . E.evaluate

-- | 'timeOutMicro'' is the equivalent variant of 'timeOutMicro':

-- There shouldn't be any memory leaks in the code above. Profiling
-- the code below also seems to suggest that there aren't any
-- problems. However, GHCi (with :set +r) eats up more and more memory
-- if the computation below is rerun a couple of times. Hmm, that
-- seems to be the case also when running simply (reverse [1..]). It
-- probably means that GHCi never releases any memory.
