Name: atomic-primops Version: 0.8.3 x-revision: 1 License: BSD3 License-file: LICENSE Author: Ryan Newton Maintainer: rrnewton@gmail.com Category: Data -- Portability: non-portabile (x86_64) Build-type: Simple Cabal-version: >=1.18 tested-with: GHC == 8.4.3, GHC == 8.2.2, GHC == 8.0.2, GHC == 7.10.3 HomePage: https://github.com/rrnewton/haskell-lockfree/wiki Bug-Reports: https://github.com/rrnewton/haskell-lockfree/issues Synopsis: A safe approach to CAS and other atomic ops in Haskell. Description: 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 "Tickets". . Also, this library uses the "foreign primop" capability of GHC to add access to other variants that may be of interest, specifically, compare and swap inside an array. . Note that as of GHC 7.8, the relevant primops have been included in GHC itself. This library is engineered to work pre- and post-GHC-7.8, while exposing the same interface.
