#10841: Run handler on STM retry -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: shlevy | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries | Version: 7.10.2 (other) | Resolution: | Keywords: stm Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by simonpj): * cc: ryates@… (added) Comment: I agree; something like this is sorely needed, so that users can take control of what to do if the transaction starves. Curiously I was talking to [http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/ryates/ Ryan Yates] about this very thing at ICFP last week. He's been doing work on GHC's STM implementation, and perhaps this retry-handler thing could form part of it?
