-- * Bounded Partial-order Reduction
-- | We can characterise the state of a concurrent computation by
-- considering the ordering of dependent events. This is a partial
-- order: independent events can be performed in any order without
-- affecting the result, and so are /not/ ordered.
--
-- Partial-order reduction is a technique for computing these
-- partial orders, and only testing one total order for each partial
-- order. This cuts down the amount of work to be done
-- significantly. /Bounded/ partial-order reduction is a further
-- optimisation, which only considers schedules within some bound.
--
-- This module provides a combination pre-emption, fair, and length
-- bounding runner:
--
-- * Pre-emption + fair bounding is useful for programs which use
-- loop/yield control flows but are otherwise terminating.
--
-- * Pre-emption, fair + length bounding is useful for
-- non-terminating programs, and used by the testing functionality
-- in @Test.DejaFu@.
--
-- See /Bounded partial-order reduction/, K. Coons, M. Musuvathi,
-- K. McKinley for more details.

-- ** Pre-emption Bounding
-- | BPOR using pre-emption bounding. This adds conservative
-- backtracking points at the prior context switch whenever a
-- non-conervative backtracking point is added, as alternative
-- decisions can influence the reachability of different states.
--
-- See the BPOR paper for more details.

, sctPreBound
-- ** Fair Bounding
-- | BPOR using fair bounding. This bounds the maximum difference
-- between the number of yield operations different threads have
-- performed.

-- ** Length Bounding

-- terms of primitive actions) of an execution.

-- * Random Scheduling
-- | By greatly sacrificing completeness, testing of a large
-- concurrent system can be greatly sped-up. Counter-intuitively,
-- random scheduling has better bug-finding behaviour than just
-- executing a program \"for real\" many times. This is perhaps
-- because a random scheduler is more chaotic than the real
-- scheduler.

-- This is basically the same as 'dependent'', but can make use of the

--
-- - @SetNumCapabilities@ and @GetNumCapabilities@ are NOT dependent
-- IF the value read is the same as the value written. 'dependent''
-- can not see the value read (as it hasn't happened yet!), and so
-- is more pessimistic here.
--
-- - When masked interruptible, a thread can only be interrupted when
-- actually blocked. 'dependent'' has to assume that all
-- potentially-blocking operations can block, and so is more
-- pessimistic in this case.
--
-- - The @isBlock@ / @isBarrier@ case in 'dependent'' is NOT a sound
-- optimisation when dealing with a 'ThreadAction' that has been
-- converted to a 'Lookahead'. I'm not entirely sure why, which
-- makes me question whether the \"optimisation\" is sound as it
-- is.
--
-- - Dependency of STM transactions can be /greatly/ improved here,
-- as the 'Lookahead' does not know which @TVar@s will be touched,
-- and so has to assume all transactions are dependent.
