Description

Deprecated: This module is provided as documentation of all new functions, you should import the more specific modules directly.

This module documents all the functions available in this package.

Most users should import the specific modules (e.g. Data.List.Extra), which also reexport their non-Extra modules (e.g. Data.List).

Synopsis

Control.Concurrent.Extra

Extra functions available in Control.Concurrent.Extra.

getNumCapabilities :: IO Int #

Returns the number of Haskell threads that can run truly simultaneously (on separate physical processors) at any given time. To change this value, use setNumCapabilities.

Since: 4.4.0.0

setNumCapabilities :: Int -> IO () #

Set the number of Haskell threads that can run truly simultaneously (on separate physical processors) at any given time. The number passed to forkOn is interpreted modulo this value. The initial value is given by the +RTS -N runtime flag.

This is also the number of threads that will participate in parallel garbage collection. It is strongly recommended that the number of capabilities is not set larger than the number of physical processor cores, and it may often be beneficial to leave one or more cores free to avoid contention with other processes in the machine.

Since: 4.5.0.0

withNumCapabilities :: Int -> IO a -> IO a Source #

On GHC 7.6 and above with the -threaded flag, brackets a call to setNumCapabilities. On lower versions (which lack setNumCapabilities) this function just runs the argument action.

forkFinally :: IO a -> (Either SomeException a -> IO ()) -> IO ThreadId #

Fork a thread and call the supplied function when the thread is about to terminate, with an exception or a returned value. The function is called with asynchronous exceptions masked.

forkFinally action and_then =
  mask $ \restore ->
    forkIO $ try (restore action) >>= and_then

This function is useful for informing the parent when a child terminates, for example.

Since: 4.6.0.0

once :: IO a -> IO (IO a) Source #

Given an action, produce a wrapped action that runs at most once. If the function raises an exception, the same exception will be reraised each time.

let x ||| y = do t1 <- onceFork x; t2 <- onceFork y; t1; t2
\(x :: IO Int) -> void (once x) == return ()
\(x :: IO Int) -> join (once x) == x
\(x :: IO Int) -> (do y <- once x; y; y) == x
\(x :: IO Int) -> (do y <- once x; y ||| y) == x

onceFork :: IO a -> IO (IO a) Source #

Like once, but immediately starts running the computation on a background thread.

\(x :: IO Int) -> join (onceFork x) == x
\(x :: IO Int) -> (do a <- onceFork x; a; a) == x

data Lock Source #

Like an MVar, but has no value. Used to guarantee single-threaded access, typically to some system resource. As an example:

lock <- newLock
let output = withLock . putStrLn
forkIO $ do ...; output "hello"
forkIO $ do ...; output "world"

Here we are creating a lock to ensure that when writing output our messages do not get interleaved. This use of MVar never blocks on a put. It is permissible, but rare, that a withLock contains a withLock inside it - but if so, watch out for deadlocks.

newLock :: IO Lock Source #

Create a new Lock.

withLock :: Lock -> IO a -> IO a Source #

Perform some operation while holding Lock. Will prevent all other operations from using the Lock while the action is ongoing.

withLockTry :: Lock -> IO a -> IO (Maybe a) Source #

Like withLock but will never block. If the operation cannot be executed immediately it will return Nothing.

data Var a Source #

Like an MVar, but must always be full. Used to operate on a mutable variable in a thread-safe way. As an example:

hits <- newVar 0
forkIO $ do ...; modifyVar_ hits (+1); ...
i <- readVar hits
print ("HITS",i)

Here we have a variable which we modify atomically, so modifications are not interleaved. This use of MVar never blocks on a put. No modifyVar operation should ever block, and they should always complete in a reasonable timeframe. A Var should not be used to protect some external resource, only the variable contained within. Information from a readVar should not be subsequently inserted back into the Var.

newVar :: a -> IO (Var a) Source #

Create a new Var with a value.

readVar :: Var a -> IO a Source #

Read the current value of the Var.

writeVar :: Var a -> a -> IO () Source #

Write a value to become the new value of Var.

modifyVar :: Var a -> (a -> IO (a, b)) -> IO b Source #

Modify a Var producing a new value and a return result.

modifyVar_ :: Var a -> (a -> IO a) -> IO () Source #

Modify a Var, a restricted version of modifyVar.

withVar :: Var a -> (a -> IO b) -> IO b Source #

Perform some operation using the value in the Var, a restricted version of modifyVar.

data Barrier a Source #

Starts out empty, then is filled exactly once. As an example:

bar <- newBarrier
forkIO $ do ...; val <- ...; signalBarrier bar val
print =<< waitBarrier bar

Here we create a barrier which will contain some computed value. A thread is forked to fill the barrier, while the main thread waits for it to complete. A barrier has similarities to a future or promise from other languages, has been known as an IVar in other Haskell work, and in some ways is like a manually managed thunk.

newBarrier :: IO (Barrier a) Source #

Create a new Barrier.

signalBarrier :: Partial => Barrier a -> a -> IO () Source #

Write a value into the Barrier, releasing anyone at waitBarrier. Any subsequent attempts to signal the Barrier will throw an exception.

waitBarrier :: Barrier a -> IO a Source #

Wait until a barrier has been signaled with signalBarrier.

waitBarrierMaybe :: Barrier a -> IO (Maybe a) Source #

A version of waitBarrier that never blocks, returning Nothing if the barrier has not yet been signaled.

Control.Exception.Extra

Extra functions available in Control.Exception.Extra.

type Partial = HasCallStack Source #

A constraint which documents that a function is partial, and on GHC 8.0 and above produces a stack trace on failure. For example:

myHead :: Partial => [a] -> a
myHead [] = error "bad"
myHead (x:xs) = x

When using Partial with GHC 7.8 or below you need to enable the language feature ConstraintKinds, e.g. {-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds #-} at the top of the file.

retry :: Int -> IO a -> IO a Source #

Retry an operation at most n times (n must be positive). If the operation fails the nth time it will throw that final exception.

retry 1 (print "x")  == print "x"
retry 3 (fail "die") == fail "die"

retryBool :: Exception e => (e -> Bool) -> Int -> IO a -> IO a Source #

Retry an operation at most n times (n must be positive), while the exception value and type match a predicate. If the operation fails the nth time it will throw that final exception.

errorWithoutStackTrace :: [Char] -> a #

A variant of error that does not produce a stack trace.

Since: 4.9.0.0

showException :: Show e => e -> IO String Source #

Show a value, but if the result contains exceptions, produce <Exception>. Defined as stringException . show. Particularly useful for printing exceptions to users, remembering that exceptions can themselves contain undefined values.

stringException :: String -> IO String Source #

Fully evaluate an input String. If the String contains embedded exceptions it will produce <Exception>.

stringException "test"                           == return "test"
stringException ("test" ++ undefined)            == return "test<Exception>"
stringException ("test" ++ undefined ++ "hello") == return "test<Exception>"
stringException ['t','e','s','t',undefined]      == return "test<Exception>"

errorIO :: Partial => String -> IO a Source #

Like error, but in the IO monad. Note that while fail in IO raises an IOException, this function raises an ErrorCall exception.

try (errorIO "Hello") == return (Left (ErrorCall "Hello"))

displayException :: Exception e => e -> String #

Render this exception value in a human-friendly manner.

Default implementation: show.

Since: 4.8.0.0

ignore :: IO () -> IO () Source #

Ignore any exceptions thrown by the action.

ignore (print 1)    == print 1
ignore (fail "die") == return ()

catch_ :: IO a -> (SomeException -> IO a) -> IO a Source #

A version of catch without the Exception context, restricted to SomeException, so catches all exceptions.

handle_ :: (SomeException -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a Source #

Like catch_ but for handle

try_ :: IO a -> IO (Either SomeException a) Source #

Like catch_ but for try

catchJust_ :: (SomeException -> Maybe b) -> IO a -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a Source #

handleJust_ :: (SomeException -> Maybe b) -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a Source #

Like catch_ but for handleJust

tryJust_ :: (SomeException -> Maybe b) -> IO a -> IO (Either b a) Source #

Like catch_ but for tryJust

catchBool :: Exception e => (e -> Bool) -> IO a -> (e -> IO a) -> IO a Source #

Catch an exception if the predicate passes, then call the handler with the original exception. As an example:

readFileExists x == catchBool isDoesNotExistError (readFile "myfile") (const $ return "")

handleBool :: Exception e => (e -> Bool) -> (e -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a Source #

Like catchBool but for handle.

tryBool :: Exception e => (e -> Bool) -> IO a -> IO (Either e a) Source #

Like catchBool but for try.

Like findM, but also allows you to compute some additional information in the predicate.

fold1M :: (Partial, Monad m) => (a -> a -> m a) -> [a] -> m a Source #

A variant of foldM that has no base case, and thus may only be applied to non-empty lists.

fold1M (\x y -> Just x) [] == undefined

Data.Either.Extra

Extra functions available in Data.Either.Extra.

isLeft :: Either a b -> Bool #

Return True if the given value is a Left-value, False otherwise.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> isLeft (Left "foo")
True
>>> isLeft (Right 3)
False

Assuming a Left value signifies some sort of error, we can use isLeft to write a very simple error-reporting function that does absolutely nothing in the case of success, and outputs "ERROR" if any error occurred.

This example shows how isLeft might be used to avoid pattern matching when one does not care about the value contained in the constructor:

>>> import Control.Monad ( when )
>>> let report e = when (isLeft e) $ putStrLn "ERROR"
>>> report (Right 1)
>>> report (Left "parse error")
ERROR

Since: 4.7.0.0

isRight :: Either a b -> Bool #

Return True if the given value is a Right-value, False otherwise.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> isRight (Left "foo")
False
>>> isRight (Right 3)
True

Assuming a Left value signifies some sort of error, we can use isRight to write a very simple reporting function that only outputs "SUCCESS" when a computation has succeeded.

This example shows how isRight might be used to avoid pattern matching when one does not care about the value contained in the constructor:

>>> import Control.Monad ( when )
>>> let report e = when (isRight e) $ putStrLn "SUCCESS"
>>> report (Left "parse error")
>>> report (Right 1)
SUCCESS

Since: 4.7.0.0

fromLeft :: a -> Either a b -> a #

Since: 4.10.0.0

fromRight :: b -> Either a b -> b #

Return the contents of a Right-value or a default value otherwise.

\x -> fromEither (Left x ) == x
\x -> fromEither (Right x) == x

fromLeft' :: Partial => Either l r -> l Source #

The fromLeft' function extracts the element out of a Left and throws an error if its argument is Right. Much like fromJust, using this function in polished code is usually a bad idea.

\x -> fromLeft' (Left  x) == x
\x -> fromLeft' (Right x) == undefined

fromRight' :: Partial => Either l r -> r Source #

The fromRight' function extracts the element out of a Right and throws an error if its argument is Left. Much like fromJust, using this function in polished code is usually a bad idea.

escapeHTML :: String -> String Source #

Escape a string such that it can be inserted into an HTML document or " attribute without any special interpretation. This requires escaping the <, >, & and " characters. Note that it does not escape ', so will not work when placed in a ' delimited attribute. Also note that it will escape " even though that is not required in an HTML body (but is not harmful).

escapeHTML "this is a test" == "this is a test"
escapeHTML "<b>\"g&t\"</n>" == "&lt;b&gt;&quot;g&amp;t&quot;&lt;/n&gt;"
escapeHTML "don't" == "don't"

escapeJSON :: String -> String Source #

Escape a string so it can form part of a JSON literal. This requires escaping the special whitespace and control characters. Additionally, Note that it does not add quote characters around the string.

escapeJSON "\ttab\nnewline\\" == "\\ttab\\nnewline\\\\"
escapeJSON "\ESC[0mHello" == "\\u001b[0mHello"

General JSON unescaping, inversion of escapeJSON and all other JSON escapes.

\xs -> unescapeJSON (escapeJSON xs) == xs

dropEnd :: Int -> [a] -> [a] Source #

Drop a number of elements from the end of the list.

dropEnd 5 "bye"    == ""
dropEnd (-1) "bye" == "bye"
\i xs -> dropEnd i xs `isPrefixOf` xs
\i xs -> length (dropEnd i xs) == max 0 (length xs - max 0 i)
\i -> take 3 (dropEnd 5 [i..]) == take 3 [i..]

takeEnd :: Int -> [a] -> [a] Source #

Take a number of elements from the end of the list.

takeEnd 3 "hello"  == "llo"

takeEnd (-1) "bye" == ""
\i xs -> takeEnd i xs `isSuffixOf` xs
\i xs -> length (takeEnd i xs) == min (max 0 i) (length xs)

splitAtEnd :: Int -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source #

splitAtEnd n xs returns a split where the second element tries to contain n elements.

\i xs -> splitAtEnd i xs == (dropEnd i xs, takeEnd i xs)

breakEnd :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source #

\f xs -> spanEnd f xs == swap (both reverse (span f (reverse xs)))

dropWhileEnd :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] #

The dropWhileEnd function drops the largest suffix of a list in which the given predicate holds for all elements. For example:

dropWhileEnd isSpace "foo\n" == "foo"
dropWhileEnd isSpace "foo bar" == "foo bar"
dropWhileEnd isSpace ("foo\n" ++ undefined) == "foo" ++ undefined

Since: 4.5.0.0

dropWhileEnd' :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] Source #

A version of dropWhileEnd but with different strictness properties. The function dropWhileEnd can be used on an infinite list and tests the property on each character. In contrast, dropWhileEnd' is strict in the spine of the list but only tests the trailing suffix. This version usually outperforms dropWhileEnd if the list is short or the test is expensive. Note the tests below cover both the prime and non-prime variants.

dropWhileEnd  isSpace "ab cde  " == "ab cde"
dropWhileEnd' isSpace "ab cde  " == "ab cde"
last (dropWhileEnd  even [undefined,3]) == undefined

stripInfix :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Maybe ([a], [a]) Source #

Return the the string before and after the search string, or Nothing if the search string is not present.

Examples:

stripInfix "::" "a::b::c" == Just ("a", "b::c")
stripInfix "/" "foobar"   == Nothing

stripInfixEnd :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Maybe ([a], [a]) Source #

Similar to stripInfix, but searches from the end of the string.

stripInfixEnd "::" "a::b::c" == Just ("a::b", "c")

dropPrefix :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> [a] Source #

Drops the given prefix from a list. It returns the original sequence if the sequence doesn't start with the given prefix.

\s -> linesBy (== '\n') s == lines s
linesBy (== ';') "my;list;here;" == ["my","list","here"]

breakOn :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source #

Find the first instance of needle in haystack. The first element of the returned tuple is the prefix of haystack before needle is matched. The second is the remainder of haystack, starting with the match. If you want the remainder without the match, use stripInfix.

breakOn "::" "a::b::c" == ("a", "::b::c")
breakOn "/" "foobar"   == ("foobar", "")
\needle haystack -> let (prefix,match) = breakOn needle haystack in prefix ++ match == haystack

breakOnEnd :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source #

Similar to breakOn, but searches from the end of the string.

The first element of the returned tuple is the prefix of haystack up to and including the last match of needle. The second is the remainder of haystack, following the match.

breakOnEnd "::" "a::b::c" == ("a::b::", "c")

splitOn :: (Partial, Eq a) => [a] -> [a] -> [[a]] Source #

Break a list into pieces separated by the first list argument, consuming the delimiter. An empty delimiter is invalid, and will cause an error to be raised.

groupOn :: Eq b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> [[a]] Source #

A version of group where the equality is done on some extracted value.

sortOn :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> [a] #

Sort a list by comparing the results of a key function applied to each element. sortOn f is equivalent to sortBy (comparing f), but has the performance advantage of only evaluating f once for each element in the input list. This is called the decorate-sort-undecorate paradigm, or Schwartzian transform.

Elements are arranged from from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input.

Since: 4.8.0.0

Provide a function to create a temporary directory, and a way to delete a temporary directory. Most users should use withTempDir which combines these operations.

newTempFileWithin :: FilePath -> IO (FilePath, IO ()) Source #

Like newTempFile but using a custom temporary directory.

newTempDirWithin :: FilePath -> IO (FilePath, IO ()) Source #

Like newTempDir but using a custom temporary directory.

fileEq :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO Bool Source #

Returns True if both files have the same content. Raises an error if either file is missing.

fileEq "does_not_exist1" "does_not_exist2" == undefined
fileEq "does_not_exist" "does_not_exist" == undefined
withTempFile $ \f1 -> fileEq "does_not_exist" f1 == undefined
withTempFile $ \f1 -> withTempFile $ \f2 -> fileEq f1 f2
withTempFile $ \f1 -> withTempFile $ \f2 -> writeFile f1 "a" >> writeFile f2 "a" >> fileEq f1 f2
withTempFile $ \f1 -> withTempFile $ \f2 -> writeFile f1 "a" >> writeFile f2 "b" >> notM (fileEq f1 f2)

System.Process.Extra

Extra functions available in System.Process.Extra.

system_ :: Partial => String -> IO () Source #

A version of system that throws an error if the ExitCode is not ExitSuccess.

systemOutput :: String -> IO (ExitCode, String) Source #

A version of system that also captures the output, both stdout and stderr. Returns a pair of the ExitCode and the output.

systemOutput_ :: Partial => String -> IO String Source #

A version of system that captures the output (both stdout and stderr) and throws an error if the ExitCode is not ExitSuccess.

System.Time.Extra

Extra functions available in System.Time.Extra.

type Seconds = Double Source #

A type alias for seconds, which are stored as Double.

sleep :: Seconds -> IO () Source #

Sleep for a number of seconds.

fmap (round . fst) (duration $ sleep 1) == return 1

timeout :: Seconds -> IO a -> IO (Maybe a) Source #

A version of timeout that takes Seconds and never overflows the bounds of an Int. In addition, the bug that negative timeouts run for ever has been fixed.

timeout (-3) (print 1) == return Nothing
timeout 0.1  (print 1) == fmap Just (print 1)
do (t, _) <- duration $ timeout 0.1 $ sleep 1000; print t; return $ t < 1
timeout 0.1  (sleep 2 >> print 1) == return Nothing

showDuration :: Seconds -> String Source #

Show a number of seconds, typically a duration, in a suitable manner with reasonable precision for a human.

showDuration 3.435   == "3.44s"
showDuration 623.8   == "10m24s"
showDuration 62003.8 == "17h13m"
showDuration 1e8     == "27777h47m"

offsetTime :: IO (IO Seconds) Source #

Call once to start, then call repeatedly to get the elapsed time since the first call. The time is guaranteed to be monotonic. This function is robust to system time changes.

do f <- offsetTime; xs <- replicateM 10 f; return $ xs == sort xs

offsetTimeIncrease :: IO (IO Seconds) Source #

Deprecated: Use offsetTime instead, which is guaranteed to always increase.

A synonym for offsetTime.

duration :: IO a -> IO (Seconds, a) Source #

Record how long a computation takes in Seconds.

do (a,_) <- duration $ sleep 1; return $ a >= 1 && a <= 1.1

readEither :: Read a => String -> Either String a #

Parse a string using the Read instance. Succeeds if there is exactly one valid result. A Left value indicates a parse error.

Since: 4.6.0.0

readMaybe :: Read a => String -> Maybe a #

Parse a string using the Read instance. Succeeds if there is exactly one valid result.
