GHC.Prim

Description

GHC's primitive types and operations. Use GHC.Exts from the base package instead of importing this module directly.

Synopsis

Builtin syntax

data FUN Source #

The builtin function type, written in infix form as a % m -> b. Values of this type are functions taking inputs of type a and producing outputs of type b. The multiplicity of the input is m.

Note that FUN m a b permits representation polymorphism in both a and b, so that types like Int# -> Int# can still be well-kinded.

The word size story.

Haskell98 specifies that signed integers (type Int) must contain at least 30 bits. GHC always implements Int using the primitive type Int#, whose size equals the MachDeps.h constant WORD_SIZE_IN_BITS. This is normally set based on the RTS ghcautoconf.h parameter SIZEOF_HSWORD, i.e., 32 bits on 32-bit machines, 64 bits on 64-bit machines.

GHC also implements a primitive unsigned integer type Word# which always has the same number of bits as Int#.

In addition, GHC supports families of explicit-sized integers and words at 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits, with the usual arithmetic operations, comparisons, and a range of conversions.

Finally, there are strongly deprecated primops for coercing between Addr#, the primitive type of machine addresses, and Int#. These are pretty bogus anyway, but will work on existing 32-bit and 64-bit GHC targets; they are completely bogus when tag bits are used in Int#, so are not available in this case.

(+#) :: Int# -> Int# -> Int# infixl 6 Source #

(-#) :: Int# -> Int# -> Int# infixl 6 Source #

(*#) :: Int# -> Int# -> Int# infixl 7 Source #

Low word of signed integer multiply.

timesInt2# :: Int# -> Int# -> (# Int#, Int#, Int# #) Source #

Return a triple (isHighNeeded,high,low) where high and low are respectively the high and low bits of the double-word result. isHighNeeded is a cheap way to test if the high word is a sign-extension of the low word (isHighNeeded = 0#) or not (isHighNeeded = 1#).

mulIntMayOflo# :: Int# -> Int# -> Int# Source #

Return non-zero if there is any possibility that the upper word of a signed integer multiply might contain useful information. Return zero only if you are completely sure that no overflow can occur. On a 32-bit platform, the recommended implementation is to do a 32 x 32 -> 64 signed multiply, and subtract result[63:32] from (result[31] >>signed 31). If this is zero, meaning that the upper word is merely a sign extension of the lower one, no overflow can occur.

On a 64-bit platform it is not always possible to acquire the top 64 bits of the result. Therefore, a recommended implementation is to take the absolute value of both operands, and return 0 iff bits[63:31] of them are zero, since that means that their magnitudes fit within 31 bits, so the magnitude of the product must fit into 62 bits.

If in doubt, return non-zero, but do make an effort to create the correct answer for small args, since otherwise the performance of (*) :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer will be poor.

quotInt# :: Int# -> Int# -> Int# Source #

Rounds towards zero. The behavior is undefined if the second argument is zero.

remInt# :: Int# -> Int# -> Int# Source #

Satisfies (quotInt# x y) *# y +# (remInt# x y) == x. The behavior is undefined if the second argument is zero.

Bitwise "xor".

notI# :: Int# -> Int# Source #

Bitwise "not", also known as the binary complement.

negateInt# :: Int# -> Int# Source #

Unary negation. Since the negative Int# range extends one further than the positive range, negateInt# of the most negative number is an identity operation. This way, negateInt# is always its own inverse.

addIntC# :: Int# -> Int# -> (# Int#, Int# #) Source #

Add signed integers reporting overflow. First member of result is the sum truncated to an Int#; second member is zero if the true sum fits in an Int#, nonzero if overflow occurred (the sum is either too large or too small to fit in an Int#).

subIntC# :: Int# -> Int# -> (# Int#, Int# #) Source #

Subtract signed integers reporting overflow. First member of result is the difference truncated to an Int#; second member is zero if the true difference fits in an Int#, nonzero if overflow occurred (the difference is either too large or too small to fit in an Int#).

Fused multiply-add operations

The fused multiply-add primops fmaddFloat# and fmaddDouble# implement the operation

\[ \lambda\ x\ y\ z \rightarrow x * y + z \]

with a single floating-point rounding operation at the end, as opposed to rounding twice (which can accumulate rounding errors).

These primops can be compiled directly to a single machine instruction on architectures that support them. Currently, these are:

  1. x86 with CPUs that support the FMA3 extended instruction set (which includes most processors since 2013).
  2. PowerPC.
  3. AArch64.

This requires users pass the '-mfma' flag to GHC. Otherwise, the primop is implemented by falling back to the C standard library, which might perform software emulation (this may yield results that are not IEEE compliant on some platforms).

The additional operations fmsubFloat#/fmsubDouble#, fnmaddFloat#fnmaddDouble# and fnmsubFloat#fnmsubDouble# provide variants on fmaddFloat#/fmaddDouble# in which some signs are changed:

\[ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{fmadd}\ x\ y\ z &= \phantom{+} x * y + z \\[8pt] \mathrm{fmsub}\ x\ y\ z &= \phantom{+} x * y - z \\[8pt] \mathrm{fnmadd}\ x\ y\ z &= - x * y + z \\[8pt] \mathrm{fnmsub}\ x\ y\ z &= - x * y - z \end{aligned} \]

Arrays

Operations on Array#.

data Array# (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) :: UnliftedType Source #

newArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) d. Int# -> a -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableArray# d a #) Source #

Create a new mutable array with the specified number of elements, in the specified state thread, with each element containing the specified initial value.

readArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, a #) Source #

Read from specified index of mutable array. Result is not yet evaluated.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

writeArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> a -> State# d -> State# d Source #

Write to specified index of mutable array.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

sizeofArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). Array# a -> Int# Source #

sizeofMutableArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# Source #

Return the number of elements in the array.

indexArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). Array# a -> Int# -> (# a #) Source #

Read from the specified index of an immutable array. The result is packaged into an unboxed unary tuple; the result itself is not yet evaluated. Pattern matching on the tuple forces the indexing of the array to happen but does not evaluate the element itself. Evaluating the thunk prevents additional thunks from building up on the heap. Avoiding these thunks, in turn, reduces references to the argument array, allowing it to be garbage collected more promptly.

unsafeFreezeArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> State# d -> (# State# d, Array# a #) Source #

Make a mutable array immutable, without copying.

unsafeThawArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) d. Array# a -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableArray# d a #) Source #

Make an immutable array mutable, without copying.

copyArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) d. Array# a -> Int# -> MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> Int# -> State# d -> State# d Source #

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, a destination array, an offset into the destination array, and a number of elements to copy, copy the elements from the source array to the destination array. Both arrays must fully contain the specified ranges, but this is not checked. The two arrays must not be the same array in different states, but this is not checked either.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

copyMutableArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> Int# -> State# d -> State# d Source #

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, a destination array, an offset into the destination array, and a number of elements to copy, copy the elements from the source array to the destination array. Both arrays must fully contain the specified ranges, but this is not checked. In the case where the source and destination are the same array the source and destination regions may overlap.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

cloneArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). Array# a -> Int# -> Int# -> Array# a Source #

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, and a number of elements to copy, create a new array with the elements from the source array. The provided array must fully contain the specified range, but this is not checked.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

cloneMutableArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableArray# d a #) Source #

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, and a number of elements to copy, create a new array with the elements from the source array. The provided array must fully contain the specified range, but this is not checked.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

freezeArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, Array# a #) Source #

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, and a number of elements to copy, create a new array with the elements from the source array. The provided array must fully contain the specified range, but this is not checked.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

thawArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) d. Array# a -> Int# -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableArray# d a #) Source #

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, and a number of elements to copy, create a new array with the elements from the source array. The provided array must fully contain the specified range, but this is not checked.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

casArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutableArray# d a -> Int# -> a -> a -> State# d -> (# State# d, Int#, a #) Source #

Given an array, an offset, the expected old value, and the new value, perform an atomic compare and swap (i.e. write the new value if the current value and the old value are the same pointer). Returns 0 if the swap succeeds and 1 if it fails. Additionally, returns the element at the offset after the operation completes. This means that on a success the new value is returned, and on a failure the actual old value (not the expected one) is returned. Implies a full memory barrier. The use of a pointer equality on a boxed value makes this function harder to use correctly than casIntArray#. All of the difficulties of using reallyUnsafePtrEquality# correctly apply to casArray# as well.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

Small Arrays

Operations on SmallArray#. A SmallArray# works just like an Array#, but with different space use and performance characteristics (that are often useful with small arrays). The SmallArray# and SmallMutableArray# lack a `card table'. The purpose of a card table is to avoid having to scan every element of the array on each GC by keeping track of which elements have changed since the last GC and only scanning those that have changed. So the consequence of there being no card table is that the representation is somewhat smaller and the writes are somewhat faster (because the card table does not need to be updated). The disadvantage of course is that for a SmallMutableArray# the whole array has to be scanned on each GC. Thus it is best suited for use cases where the mutable array is not long lived, e.g. where a mutable array is initialised quickly and then frozen to become an immutable SmallArray#.

newSmallArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) d. Int# -> a -> State# d -> (# State# d, SmallMutableArray# d a #) Source #

Create a new mutable array with the specified number of elements, in the specified state thread, with each element containing the specified initial value.

shrinkSmallMutableArray# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). SmallMutableArray# d a -> Int# -> State# d -> State# d Source #

Shrink mutable array to new specified size, in the specified state thread. The new size argument must be less than or equal to the current size as reported by getSizeofSmallMutableArray#.

Assuming the non-profiling RTS, for the copying garbage collector (default) this primitive compiles to an O(1) operation in C--, modifying the array in-place. For the non-moving garbage collector, however, the time is proportional to the number of elements shrinked out. Backends bypassing C-- representation (such as JavaScript) might behave differently.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

Given a source array, an offset into the source array, a destination array, an offset into the destination array, and a number of elements to copy, copy the elements from the source array to the destination array. The source and destination arrays can refer to the same array. Both arrays must fully contain the specified ranges, but this is not checked. The regions are allowed to overlap, although this is only possible when the same array is provided as both the source and the destination.

Warning: this can fail with an unchecked exception.

Byte Arrays

A ByteArray# is a region of raw memory in the garbage-collected heap, which is not scanned for pointers. There are three sets of operations for accessing byte array contents: index for reading from immutable byte arrays, and read/write for mutable byte arrays. Each set contains operations for a range of useful primitive data types. Each operation takes an offset measured in terms of the size of the primitive type being read or written.

data ByteArray# :: UnliftedType Source #

A boxed, unlifted datatype representing a region of raw memory in the garbage-collected heap, which is not scanned for pointers during garbage collection.

It is created by freezing a MutableByteArray# with unsafeFreezeByteArray#. Freezing is essentially a no-op, as MutableByteArray# and ByteArray# share the same heap structure under the hood.

The immutable and mutable variants are commonly used for scenarios requiring high-performance data structures, like Text, Primitive Vector, Unboxed Array, and ShortByteString.

Another application of fundamental importance is Integer, which is backed by ByteArray#.

The representation on the heap of a Byte Array is:

+------------+-----------------+-----------------------+
|            |                 |                       |
|   HEADER   | SIZE (in bytes) |       PAYLOAD         |
|            |                 |                       |
+------------+-----------------+-----------------------+

To obtain a pointer to actual payload (e.g., for FFI purposes) use byteArrayContents# or mutableByteArrayContents#.

Alternatively, enabling the UnliftedFFITypes extension allows to mention ByteArray# and MutableByteArray# in FFI type signatures directly.

data MutableByteArray# a :: UnliftedType Source #

A mutable ByteAray#. It can be created in three ways:

Unpinned arrays can be moved around during garbage collection, so you must not store or pass pointers to these values if there is a chance for the garbage collector to kick in. That said, even unpinned arrays can be passed to unsafe FFI calls, because no garbage collection happens during these unsafe calls (see Guaranteed Call Safety in the GHC Manual). For safe FFI calls, byte arrays must be not only pinned, but also kept alive by means of the keepAlive# function for the duration of a call (that's because garbage collection cannot move a pinned array, but is free to scrap it altogether).

newByteArray# :: Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableByteArray# d #) Source #

Create a new mutable byte array of specified size (in bytes), in the specified state thread. The size of the memory underlying the array will be rounded up to the platform's word size.

newPinnedByteArray# :: Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableByteArray# d #) Source #

Like newByteArray# but GC guarantees not to move it.

newAlignedPinnedByteArray# :: Int# -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableByteArray# d #) Source #

Like newPinnedByteArray# but allow specifying an arbitrary alignment, which must be a power of two.

isMutableByteArrayPinned# :: MutableByteArray# d -> Int# Source #

isByteArrayPinned# :: ByteArray# -> Int# Source #

byteArrayContents# :: ByteArray# -> Addr# Source #

Intended for use with pinned arrays; otherwise very unsafe!

mutableByteArrayContents# :: MutableByteArray# d -> Addr# Source #

Intended for use with pinned arrays; otherwise very unsafe!

shrinkMutableByteArray# :: MutableByteArray# d -> Int# -> State# d -> State# d Source #

Shrink mutable byte array to new specified size (in bytes), in the specified state thread. The new size argument must be less than or equal to the current size as reported by getSizeofMutableByteArray#.

Assuming the non-profiling RTS, this primitive compiles to an O(1) operation in C--, modifying the array in-place. Backends bypassing C-- representation (such as JavaScript) might behave differently.

resizeMutableByteArray# :: MutableByteArray# d -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutableByteArray# d #) Source #

Resize mutable byte array to new specified size (in bytes), shrinking or growing it. The returned MutableByteArray# is either the original MutableByteArray# resized in-place or, if not possible, a newly allocated (unpinned) MutableByteArray# (with the original content copied over).

To avoid undefined behaviour, the original MutableByteArray# shall not be accessed anymore after a resizeMutableByteArray# has been performed. Moreover, no reference to the old one should be kept in order to allow garbage collection of the original MutableByteArray# in case a new MutableByteArray# had to be allocated.

newMutVar# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) d. a -> State# d -> (# State# d, MutVar# d a #) Source #

Create MutVar# with specified initial value in specified state thread.

readMutVar# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutVar# d a -> State# d -> (# State# d, a #) Source #

Read contents of MutVar#. Result is not yet evaluated.

writeMutVar# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutVar# d a -> a -> State# d -> State# d Source #

Write contents of MutVar#.

atomicSwapMutVar# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutVar# d a -> a -> State# d -> (# State# d, a #) Source #

Atomically exchange the value of a MutVar#.

atomicModifyMutVar2# :: MutVar# d a -> (a -> c) -> State# d -> (# State# d, a, c #) Source #

Modify the contents of a MutVar#, returning the previous contents x :: a and the result of applying the given function to the previous contents f x :: c.

The data type c (not a newtype!) must be a record whose first field is of lifted type a :: Type and is not unpacked. For example, product types c ~ Solo a or c ~ (a, b) work well. If the record type is both monomorphic and strict in its first field, it's recommended to mark the latter {-# NOUNPACK #-} explicitly.

Under the hood atomicModifyMutVar2# atomically replaces a pointer to an old x :: a with a pointer to a selector thunk fst r, where fst is a selector for the first field of the record and r is a function application thunk r = f x.

atomicModifyIORef2Native from atomic-modify-general package makes an effort to reflect restrictions on c faithfully, providing a well-typed high-level wrapper.

atomicModifyMutVar_# :: MutVar# d a -> (a -> a) -> State# d -> (# State# d, a, a #) Source #

Modify the contents of a MutVar#, returning the previous contents and the result of applying the given function to the previous contents.

casMutVar# :: forall {l :: Levity} d (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). MutVar# d a -> a -> a -> State# d -> (# State# d, Int#, a #) Source #

Compare-and-swap: perform a pointer equality test between the first value passed to this function and the value stored inside the MutVar#. If the pointers are equal, replace the stored value with the second value passed to this function, otherwise do nothing. Returns the final value stored inside the MutVar#. The Int# indicates whether a swap took place, with 1# meaning that we didn't swap, and 0# that we did. Implies a full memory barrier. Because the comparison is done on the level of pointers, all of the difficulties of using reallyUnsafePtrEquality# correctly apply to casMutVar# as well.

Continuations

These operations provide access to first-class delimited continuations, which allow a computation to access and manipulate portions of its current continuation. Operationally, they are implemented by direct manipulation of the RTS call stack, which may provide significant performance gains relative to manual continuation-passing style (CPS) for some programs.

Intuitively, the delimited control operators prompt# and control0# can be understood by analogy to catch# and raiseIO#, respectively:

  • Like catch#, prompt# does not do anything on its own, it just delimits a subcomputation (the source of the name "delimited continuations").
  • Like raiseIO#, control0# aborts to the nearest enclosing prompt# before resuming execution.

However, unlike raiseIO#, control0# does not discard the aborted computation: instead, it captures it in a form that allows it to be resumed later. In other words, control0# does not irreversibly abort the local computation before returning to the enclosing prompt#, it merely suspends it. All local context of the suspended computation is packaged up and returned as an ordinary function that can be invoked at a later point in time to continue execution, which is why the suspended computation is known as a first-class continuation.

In GHC, every continuation prompt is associated with exactly one PromptTag#. Prompt tags are unique, opaque values created by newPromptTag# that may only be compared for equality. Both prompt# and control0# accept a PromptTag# argument, and control0# captures the continuation up to the nearest enclosing use of prompt# with the same tag. This allows a program to control exactly which prompt it will abort to by using different tags, similar to how a program can control which catch it will abort to by throwing different types of exceptions. Additionally, PromptTag# accepts a single type parameter, which is used to relate the expected result type at the point of the prompt# to the type of the continuation produced by control0#.

The gory details

The high-level explanation provided above should hopefully provide some intuition for what these operations do, but it is not very precise; this section provides a more thorough explanation.

The prompt# operation morally has the following type:

prompt# :: PromptTag# a -> IO a -> IO a

If a computation m never calls control0#, then prompt# tag m is equivalent to just m, i.e. the prompt# is a no-op. This implies the following law:

\[ \mathtt{prompt\#}\ \mathit{tag}\ (\mathtt{pure}\ x) \equiv \mathtt{pure}\ x \]

The control0# operation morally has the following type:

control0# :: PromptTag# a -> ((IO b -> IO a) -> IO a) -> IO b

control0# tag f captures the current continuation up to the nearest enclosing prompt# tag and resumes execution from the point of the call to prompt#, passing the captured continuation to f. To make that somewhat more precise, we can say control0# obeys the following law:

\[ \mathtt{prompt\#}\ \mathit{tag}\ (\mathtt{control0\#}\ tag\ f \mathbin{\mathtt{>>=}} k) \equiv f\ (\lambda\ m \rightarrow m \mathbin{\mathtt{>>=}} k) \]

However, this law does not fully describe the behavior of control0#, as it does not account for situations where control0# does not appear immediately inside prompt#. Capturing the semantics more precisely requires some additional notational machinery; a common approach is to use reduction semantics. Assuming an appropriate definition of evaluation contexts \(E\), the semantics of prompt# and control0# can be given as follows:

\[ \begin{aligned} E[\mathtt{prompt\#}\ \mathit{tag}\ (\mathtt{pure}\ v)] &\longrightarrow E[\mathtt{pure}\ v] \\[8pt] E_1[\mathtt{prompt\#}\ \mathit{tag}\ E_2[\mathtt{control0\#}\ tag\ f]] &\longrightarrow E_1[f\ (\lambda\ m \rightarrow E_2[m])] \\[-2pt] \mathrm{where}\;\: \mathtt{prompt\#}\ \mathit{tag} &\not\in E_2 \end{aligned} \]

A full treatment of the semantics and metatheory of delimited control is well outside the scope of this documentation, but a good, thorough overview (in Haskell) is provided in A Monadic Framework for Delimited Continuations by Dybvig et al.

Safety and invariants

Correct uses of control0# must obey the following restrictions:

  1. The behavior of control0# is only well-defined within a /strict State# thread/, such as those associated with IO and strict ST computations.
  2. Furthermore, control0# may only be called within the dynamic extent of a prompt# with a matching tag somewhere in the current strict State# thread. Effectively, this means that a matching prompt must exist somewhere, and the captured continuation must not contain any uses of unsafePerformIO, runST, unsafeInterleaveIO, etc. For example, the following program is ill-defined:

    prompt# tag $
      evaluate (unsafePerformIO $ control0# tag f)
    

    In this example, the use of prompt# appears in a different State# thread from the use of control0#, so there is no valid prompt in scope to capture up to.

  3. Finally, control0# may not be used within State# threads associated with an STM transaction (i.e. those introduced by atomically#).

If the runtime is able to detect that any of these invariants have been violated in a way that would compromise internal invariants of the runtime, control0# will fail by raising an exception. However, such violations are only detected on a best-effort basis, as the bookkeeping necessary for detecting all illegal uses of control0# would have significant overhead. Therefore, although the operations are "safe" from the runtime's point of view (e.g. they will not compromise memory safety or clobber internal runtime state), it is still ultimately the programmer's responsibility to ensure these invariants hold to guarantee predictable program behavior.

In a similar vein, since each captured continuation includes the full local context of the suspended computation, it can safely be resumed arbitrarily many times without violating any invariants of the runtime system. However, use of these operations in an arbitrary IO computation may be unsafe for other reasons, as most IO code is not written with reentrancy in mind. For example, a computation suspended in the middle of reading a file will likely finish reading it when it is resumed; further attempts to resume from the same place would then fail because the file handle was already closed.

In other words, although the RTS ensures that a computation's control state and local variables are properly restored for each distinct resumption of a continuation, it makes no attempt to duplicate any local state the computation may have been using (and could not possibly do so in general). Furthermore, it provides no mechanism for an arbitrary computation to protect itself against unwanted reentrancy (i.e. there is no analogue to Scheme's dynamic-wind). For those reasons, manipulating the continuation is only safe if the caller can be certain that doing so will not violate any expectations or invariants of the enclosing computation.

Synchronized Mutable Variables

Operations on MVar#s.

data MVar# a (b :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) :: UnliftedType Source #

A shared mutable variable (not the same as a MutVar#!). (Note: in a non-concurrent implementation, (MVar# a) can be represented by (MutVar# (Maybe a)).)

Concurrency primitives

 

data State# a :: ZeroBitType Source #

State# is the primitive, unlifted type of states. It has one type parameter, thus State# RealWorld, or State# s, where s is a type variable. The only purpose of the type parameter is to keep different state threads separate. It is represented by nothing at all.

data RealWorld Source #

RealWorld is deeply magical. It is primitive, but it is not unlifted (hence ptrArg). We never manipulate values of type RealWorld; it's only used in the type system, to parameterise State#.

data ThreadId# :: UnliftedType Source #

(In a non-concurrent implementation, this can be a singleton type, whose (unique) value is returned by myThreadId#. The other operations can be omitted.)

fork# :: forall {q :: RuntimeRep} (a :: TYPE q). (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, a #)) -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, ThreadId# #) Source #

Result is (ThreadStatus, Capability, Locked) where ThreadStatus is one of the status constants defined in rts/Constants.h, Capability is the number of the capability which currently owns the thread, and Locked is a boolean indicating whether the thread is bound to that capability.

Since: ghc-prim-0.9

listThreads# :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Array# ThreadId# #) Source #

Returns an array of the threads started by the program. Note that this threads which have finished execution may or may not be present in this list, depending upon whether they have been collected by the garbage collector.

Since: ghc-prim-0.10

Weak pointers

 

data Weak# (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) :: UnliftedType Source #

mkWeak# :: forall {l :: Levity} {k :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) (b :: TYPE ('BoxedRep k)) c. a -> b -> (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, c #)) -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Weak# b #) Source #

mkWeak# k v finalizer s creates a weak reference to value k, with an associated reference to some value v. If k is still alive then v can be retrieved using deRefWeak#. Note that the type of k must be represented by a pointer (i.e. of kind TYPE 'LiftedRep or TYPE 'UnliftedRep@).

mkWeakNoFinalizer# :: forall {l :: Levity} {k :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) (b :: TYPE ('BoxedRep k)). a -> b -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Weak# b #) Source #

addCFinalizerToWeak# :: forall {k :: Levity} (b :: TYPE ('BoxedRep k)). Addr# -> Addr# -> Int# -> Addr# -> Weak# b -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int# #) Source #

addCFinalizerToWeak# fptr ptr flag eptr w attaches a C function pointer fptr to a weak pointer w as a finalizer. If flag is zero, fptr will be called with one argument, ptr. Otherwise, it will be called with two arguments, eptr and ptr. addCFinalizerToWeak# returns 1 on success, or 0 if w is already dead.

deRefWeak# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). Weak# a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int#, a #) Source #

finalizeWeak# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)) b. Weak# a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int#, State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, b #) #) Source #

Finalize a weak pointer. The return value is an unboxed tuple containing the new state of the world and an "unboxed Maybe", represented by an Int# and a (possibly invalid) finalization action. An Int# of 1 indicates that the finalizer is valid. The return value b from the finalizer should be ignored.

stableNameToInt# :: forall {l :: Levity} (a :: TYPE ('BoxedRep l)). StableName# a -> Int# Source #

Compact normal form

Primitives for working with compact regions. The ghc-compact library and the compact library demonstrate how to use these primitives. The documentation below draws a distinction between a CNF and a compact block. A CNF contains one or more compact blocks. The source file rts/sm/CNF.c diagrams this relationship. When discussing a compact block, an additional distinction is drawn between capacity and utilized bytes. The capacity is the maximum number of bytes that the compact block can hold. The utilized bytes is the number of bytes that are actually used by the compact block.

compactNew# :: Word# -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Compact# #) Source #

Create a new CNF with a single compact block. The argument is the capacity of the compact block (in bytes, not words). The capacity is rounded up to a multiple of the allocator block size and is capped to one m
