data TVar a

newTVar :: a -> STM (TVar a)

newTVarIO :: a -> IO (TVar a)

readTVar :: TVar a -> STM a

readTVarIO :: TVar a -> IO a

writeTVar :: TVar a -> a -> STM ()

modifyTVar :: TVar a -> (a -> a) -> STM () Source

Mutate the contents of a TVar. N.B., this version is non-strict.

Since: stm-2.3

modifyTVar' :: TVar a -> (a -> a) -> STM () Source

Strict version of modifyTVar.

Since: stm-2.3

stateTVar :: TVar s -> (s -> (a, s)) -> STM a Source

Like modifyTVar' but the function is a simple state transition that can return a side value which is passed on as the result of the STM.

Since: stm-2.5.0

swapTVar :: TVar a -> a -> STM a Source

Swap the contents of a TVar for a new value.

Since: stm-2.3

registerDelay :: Int -> IO (TVar Bool)

mkWeakTVar :: TVar a -> IO () -> IO (Weak (TVar a)) Source

Make a Weak pointer to a TVar, using the second argument as a finalizer to run when TVar is garbage-collected

Since: stm-2.4.3
