TVars
Shared memory locations that support atomic memory transactions.
newTVarIO :: a -> IO (TVar a) Source #
IO version of newTVar. This is useful for creating top-level
TVars using unsafePerformIO, because using
atomically inside unsafePerformIO isn't
possible.
readTVarIO :: TVar a -> IO a Source #
modifyTVar :: TVar a -> (a -> a) -> STM () Source #
Mutate the contents of a TVar. N.B., this version is
non-strict.
Since: stm-2.3
modifyTVar' :: TVar a -> (a -> a) -> STM () Source #
Strict version of modifyTVar.
Since: stm-2.3
