# Concurrent Haskell

data ThreadId :: *

A `ThreadId` is an abstract type representing a handle to a thread. `ThreadId` is an instance of `Eq`, `Ord` and `Show`, where the `Ord` instance implements an arbitrary total ordering over `ThreadId`s. The `Show` instance lets you convert an arbitrary-valued `ThreadId` to string form; showing a `ThreadId` value is occasionally useful when debugging or diagnosing the behaviour of a concurrent program.

Note: in GHC, if you have a `ThreadId`, you essentially have a pointer to the thread itself. This means the thread itself can't be garbage collected until you drop the `ThreadId`. This misfeature will hopefully be corrected at a later date.

# Basic concurrency operations

myThreadId :: MonadBase IO m => m ThreadId

Generalized version of `myThreadId`.

fork :: MonadBaseControl IO m => m () -> m ThreadId

Generalized version of `forkIO`.

Note that, while the forked computation `m ()` has access to the captured state, all its side-effects in `m` are discarded. It is run only for its side-effects in `IO`.

forkWithUnmask :: MonadBaseControl IO m => ((forall a. m a -> m a) -> m ()) -> m ThreadId

Generalized version of `forkIOWithUnmask`.

Note that, while the forked computation `m ()` has access to the captured state, all its side-effects in `m` are discarded. It is run only for its side-effects in `IO`.

forkFinally :: MonadBaseControl IO m => m a -> (Either SomeException a -> m ()) -> m ThreadId

Generalized version of `forkFinally`.

Note that in `forkFinally action and_then`, while the forked `action` and the `and_then` function have access to the captured state, all their side-effects in `m` are discarded. They're run only for their side-effects in `IO`.

killThread :: MonadBase IO m => ThreadId -> m ()

Generalized version of `killThread`.

throwTo :: (MonadBase IO m, Exception e) => ThreadId -> e -> m ()

Generalized version of `throwTo`.

## Threads with affinity

forkOn :: MonadBaseControl IO m => Int -> m () -> m ThreadId

Generalized version of `forkOn`.

Note that, while the forked computation `m ()` has access to the captured state, all its side-effects in `m` are discarded. It is run only for its side-effects in `IO`.

forkOnWithUnmask :: MonadBaseControl IO m => Int -> ((forall a. m a -> m a) -> m ()) -> m ThreadId

Generalized version of `forkOnWithUnmask`.

Note that, while the forked computation `m ()` has access to the captured state, all its side-effects in `m` are discarded. It is run only for its side-effects in `IO`.

getNumCapabilities :: MonadBase IO m => m Int

Generalized version of `getNumCapabilities`.

setNumCapabilities :: MonadBase IO m => Int -> m ()

Generalized version of `setNumCapabilities`.

threadCapability :: MonadBase IO m => ThreadId -> m (Int, Bool)

Generalized version of `threadCapability`.

# Scheduling

yield :: MonadBase IO m => m ()

Generalized version of `yield`.

## Blocking

## Waiting

threadDelay :: MonadBase IO m => Int -> m ()

Generalized version of `threadDelay`.

threadWaitRead :: MonadBase IO m => Fd -> m ()

Generalized version of `threadWaitRead`.

threadWaitWrite :: MonadBase IO m => Fd -> m ()

Generalized version of `threadWaitWrite`.

# Communication abstractions

module Control.Concurrent.MVar.Lifted

module Control.Concurrent.Chan.Lifted

module Control.Concurrent.QSem.Lifted

module Control.Concurrent.QSemN.Lifted

# Bound Threads

rtsSupportsBoundThreads :: Bool

`True` if bound threads are supported. If `rtsSupportsBoundThreads` is `False`, `isCurrentThreadBound` will always return `False` and both `forkOS` and `runInBoundThread` will fail.

forkOS :: MonadBaseControl IO m => m () -> m ThreadId

Generalized version of `forkOS`.

Note that, while the forked computation `m ()` has access to the captured state, all its side-effects in `m` are discarded. It is run only for its side-effects in `IO`.

isCurrentThreadBound :: MonadBase IO m => m Bool

Generalized version of `isCurrentThreadBound`.

runInBoundThread :: MonadBaseControl IO m => m a -> m a

Generalized version of `runInBoundThread`.

runInUnboundThread :: MonadBaseControl IO m => m a -> m a

Generalized version of `runInUnboundThread`.

# Weak references to ThreadIds

mkWeakThreadId :: MonadBase IO m => ThreadId -> m (Weak ThreadId)

Generalized versio of `mkWeakThreadId`.
