{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface, JavaScriptFFI, UnliftedFFITypes, DeriveDataTypeable, MagicHash #-} {- | GHCJS has two types of threads. Regular, asynchronous threads are started with `h$run`, are managed by the scheduler and run in the background. `h$run` returns immediately. Synchronous threads are started with `h$runSync`, which returns when the thread has run to completion. When a synchronous thread does an operation that would block, like accessing an MVar or an asynchronous FFI call, it cannot continue synchronously. There are two ways this can be resolved, depending on the second argument of the `h$runSync` call: * The action is aborted and the thread receives a 'WouldBlockException' * The thread continues asynchronously, `h$runSync` returns Note: when a synchronous thread encounters a black hole from another thread, it tries to steal the work from that thread to avoid blocking. In some cases that might not be possible, for example when the data accessed is produced by a lazy IO operation. This is resolved the same way as blocking on an IO action would be. -} module GHCJS.Concurrent ( isThreadSynchronous , isThreadContinueAsync , OnBlocked(..) , WouldBlockException(..) , withoutPreemption , synchronously ) where import GHCJS.Prim import Control.Applicative import Control.Concurrent import qualified Control.Exception as Ex import GHC.Exts (ThreadId#) import GHC.Conc.Sync (ThreadId(..)) import Data.Bits (testBit) import Data.Data import Data.Typeable import Unsafe.Coerce {- | The runtime tries to run synchronous threads to completion.
