#11713: STM Finalizers -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mc.schroeder | Owner: mc.schroeder Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2011 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Well, it may be unlikely but both the specification and the implementation must take care of these cases. Is all this complexity justified by the use-cases. Maybe, but I am not yet convinced. Eg for your serialisation example, I'd just transactionally commit the result to a buffer of things to be serialised by single serialisation thread. That is, in effect, what you are doing by other means. Let's see what Simon M and others GHC devs/users say. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11713#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
