-------------------------------------------- -- stm-chans 3.0.0.3 -------------------------------------------- The stm-chans package offers a collection of channel types, similar to Control.Concurrent.STM.{TChan,TQueue} but with additional features. -------------------------------------------- -- Changes since 3.0.0 (2013-05-29) -------------------------------------------- Cleaned up the header gunk to compile cleanly under GHC 7.10. No actual code has been altered. -------------------------------------------- -- Long description -------------------------------------------- In particular stm-chans offers the following data types: * Control.Concurrent.STM.TBChan: Bounded FIFO channels. When the channel is full, writers will block/retry. This ensures that the writers do not get too far ahead of the readers, which helps to make sure that memory and cpu resources are used responsibly. * Control.Concurrent.STM.TMChan: Closeable FIFO channels. * Control.Concurrent.STM.TMQueue: Closeable FIFO queues. Like TChan (Maybe a) but with a monotonicity guarantee that once Nothing is returned all future reads will be Nothing as well. * Control.Concurrent.STM.TBMChan: Bounded Closeable FIFO channels. * Control.Concurrent.STM.TBMQueue: Bounded Closeable FIFO queues. Combines the capabilities of TBChan and TMChan. -------------------------------------------- -- Links -------------------------------------------- Homepage: http://code.haskell.org/~wren/ Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/stm-chans Darcs: http://community.haskell.org/~wren/stm-chans Haddock (Darcs version): http://community.haskell.org/~wren/stm-chans/dist/doc/html/stm-chans -- Live well, ~wren
