-- | A safe approach to CAS and other atomic ops in Haskell.
--   
--   After GHC 7.4 a new `casMutVar#` primop became available, but it's
--   difficult to use safely, because pointer equality is a highly unstable
--   property in Haskell. This library provides a safer method based on the
--   concept of <a>Tickets</a>.
--   
--   Also, this library uses the <a>foreign primop</a> capability of GHC to
--   add access to other variants that may be of interest, specifically,
--   compare and swap inside an array.
@package atomic-primops
@version 0.1.0.2


-- | This module provides only the raw primops (and necessary types) for
--   atomic operations.
module Data.Atomics.Internal

-- | Unsafe, machine-level atomic compare and swap on an element within an
--   Array.

casMutVarTicketed# :: MutVar# RealWorld a -> Ticket a -> Ticket a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int#, Ticket a #)

-- | When performing compare-and-swaps, the <i>ticket</i> encapsulates
--   proof that a thread observed a specific previous value of a mutable
--   variable. It is provided in lieu of the <a>old</a> value to
--   compare-and-swap.

-- | Provides atomic memory operations on IORefs and Mutable Arrays.
--   
--   Pointer equality need not be maintained by a Haskell compiler. For
--   example, Int values will frequently be boxed and unboxed, changing the
--   pointer identity of the thunk. To deal with this, the compare-and-swap
--   (CAS) approach used in this module is uses a <i>sealed</i>
--   representation of pointers into the Haskell heap (<tt>Tickets</tt>).
--   Currently, the user cannot coin new tickets, rather a <a>Ticket</a>
--   provides evidence of a past observation, and grants permission to make
--   a future change.
