#14156: Document the thread wakeup/scheduling/fairness semantics for the STM primitives -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: harendra | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries | Version: 8.2.1 (other) | Resolution: | Keywords: stm Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Documentation | Unknown/Multiple bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I agree that the documentation should be more explicit about this. I suspect (bit am not certain) that the answer is that none of the primitives go guarantee fairness. Patches welcome (after confirmation, of course). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14156#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
