newtype RemotePtr a Source #

Constructors

RemotePtr Word64 

Instances

Show (RemotePtr a) Source # 
Binary (RemotePtr a) Source # 

Methods

put :: RemotePtr a -> Put #

get :: Get (RemotePtr a) #

putList :: [RemotePtr a] -> Put #

NFData (RemotePtr a) Source # 

Methods

rnf :: RemotePtr a -> () #

newtype HValue Source #

Constructors

HValue Any 

Instances

data RemoteRef a Source #

A reference to a remote value. These are allocated and freed explicitly.

Instances

mkRemoteRef :: a -> IO (RemoteRef a) Source #

Make a reference to a local value that we can send remotely. This reference will keep the value that it refers to alive until freeRemoteRef is called.

localRef :: RemoteRef a -> IO a Source #

Convert an HValueRef to an HValue. Should only be used if the HValue originated in this process.

freeRemoteRef :: RemoteRef a -> IO () Source #

Release an HValueRef that originated in this process

data ForeignRef a Source #

An HValueRef with a finalizer

Instances

NFData (ForeignRef a) Source # 

Methods

rnf :: ForeignRef a -> () #

mkForeignRef :: RemoteRef a -> IO () -> IO (ForeignRef a) Source #

Create a ForeignRef from a RemoteRef. The finalizer should arrange to call freeHValueRef on the HValueRef. (since this function needs to be called in the process that created the HValueRef, it cannot be called directly from the finalizer).
