Module documentation for 2.1.1

This package provides a higher-level interface over threads, in which an Async a is a concurrent thread that will eventually deliver a value of type a. The package provides ways to create Async computations, wait for their results, and cancel them.

Using Async is safer than using threads in two ways:

  • When waiting for a thread to return a result, if the thread dies with an exception then the caller must either re-throw the exception (wait) or handle it (waitCatch); the exception cannot be ignored.

  • The API makes it possible to build a tree of threads that are automatically killed when their parent dies (see withAsync).

Changes

Changes in 2.1.1.1:

  • Make 'cancelWith' wait for the cancelled thread to terminate, like 'cancel'
  • Updates to dependency bounds for GHC 8.2

Changes in 2.1.1:

  • Add concurrently_
  • Add replicateConcurrently
  • Add replicateConcurrently_
  • Fix incorrect argument order in forConcurrently_
  • Generalize mapConcurrently_ and forConcurrently_ to Foldable
  • withAsync now reliably kills the thread, by using an uninterruptible cancel
  • Make cancel wait for the thread to finish, and adjust 'concurrently' to match

Changes in 2.1.0:

  • Bump base dependency to allow 4.10
  • Remove invalid Monad instance for Concurrently
  • Add Monoid and Semigroup instances for Concurrently
  • Add forConcurrently (flipped version of mapConcurrently)
  • Add STM version of all applicable IO functions: waitAnySTM, waitAnyCatchSTM, waitEitherSTM, waitEitherCatchSTM, waitEitherSTM_, and waitBothSTM.

Changes in 2.0.2:

  • Add a Monad instance for Concurrently
  • Bump base dependency to allow 4.9

Changes in 2.0.1.6:

  • Add workaround to waitCatch for #14

Changes in 2.0.1.5:

  • Bump base dependencies for GHC 7.8

Changes in 2.0.1.4:

  • Bump base dependency of test suite

Changes in 2.0.1.3:

  • Bump base dependency to allow 4.6

Changes in 2.0.1.2:

  • Bump stm dependency to 2.4

Changes in 2.0.1.1:

  • Safe Haskell support: Control.Concurrent.Async is now Trustworthy

Changes in 2.0.1.0:

  • Added a Functor instance for Async
  • Added asyncBound, asyncOn, asyncWithUnmask, asyncOnWithUnmask, withAsyncBound, withAsyncOn, withAsyncWithUnmask, withAsyncOnWithUnmask.
  • Added mapConcurrently
  • Added Concurrently (with Applicative and Alternative instances)
