st2-0.1.0.0: st2.cabal
name: st2
version: 0.1.0.0
synopsis: shared heap regions between local mutable state threads
description:
This library implements the ST2 monad, a type using GDP (ghosts of departed proofs)
to define shared regions of memory between local mutable state threads. This allows
us to define a region of the heap in more minute contours, with each state thread
having explicit access to regions in memory. This is achieved using the function `runST2`,
which in effects lets the user run a computation that makes use of two partially-overlapping
memory regions. Within that computation, the user can run sub-computations bound to one or
the other memory region. Furthermore, a sub-computation can move any variable that it owns
into the common overlap via `share`.
.
An example is shown in the documentation, where one sub-computation creates two cells: one
private, and the other shared. A second sub-computation has unconstrained access to the
shared cell. Yet even though the private reference is also in scope during the second
sub-computation, any attempts to access it there will fail to compile.
