If you don't know exactly what this module is for and precisely how to use the types within, you should move on, quickly!
- Implementation Notes
- This module provides facilities for forcibly sending non-serializable
data via cloud haskell's messaging primitives, such as
send
et al. Of course, if you attmept to do this when interacting with a remote process, your application will break.
NB: this module will be deprecated in the next dot release, pending rewrite of the libraries that currently rely on it, to use the new supporting APIs for STM interactions in distributed-process-client-server.

Copying non-serializable data
pCopy :: Typeable a => a -> PCopy a Source #
Wrap any Typeable
datum in a PCopy
. We hide the constructor to
discourage arbitrary uses of the type, since PCopy
is a specialised
and potentially dangerous construct.
matchP :: Typeable m => Match (Maybe m) Source #
Matches on PCopy m
and returns the m within.
This potentially allows us to bypass serialization (and the type constraints
it enforces) for local message passing (i.e., with UnencodedMessage
data),
since PCopy is just a shim.
matchChanP :: Typeable m => ReceivePort (PCopy m) -> Match m Source #
Matches on a TypedChannel (PCopy a)
.
pUnwrap :: Typeable m => Message -> Process (Maybe m) Source #
Given a raw Message
, attempt to unwrap a Typeable
datum from
an enclosing PCopy
wrapper.
Arbitrary (unmanaged) message streams
data InputStream a Source #
A generic input channel that can be read from in the same fashion
as a typed channel (i.e., ReceivePort
). To read from an input stream
in isolation, see readInputStream
. To compose an InputStream
with
reads on a process' mailbox (and/or typed channels), see matchInputStream
.
newInputStream :: forall a. Typeable a => Either (ReceivePort a) (STM a) -> InputStream a Source #
Create a new InputStream
.
matchInputStream :: InputStream a -> Match a Source #
Constructs a Match
for a given InputChannel
.
readInputStream :: Serializable a => InputStream a -> Process a Source #
Read from an InputStream
. This is a blocking operation.
