Simple Quantity Semaphores

data QSem m

QSem is a quantity semaphore in which the resource is acquired and released in units of one. It provides guaranteed FIFO ordering for satisfying blocked waitQSem calls.

The pattern

bracket_ qaitQSem signalSSem (...)

is safe; it never loses a unit of the resource.

newQSem :: MonadConc m => Int -> m (QSem m)
