https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035543 Bug ID: 1035543 Summary: Review Request: ghc-async - Asynchronous IO operations Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: petersen@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/reviews/ghc-async.spec SRPM URL: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/reviews/ghc-async-2.0.1.4-27.fc19.src.rpm Description: This package provides a higher-level interface over threads, in which an "Async a" is a concurrent thread that will eventually deliver a value of type "a". The package provides ways to create "Async" computations, wait for their results, and cancel them. Using Async is safer than using threads in two ways: * When waiting for a thread to return a result, if the thread dies with an exception then the caller must either re-throw the exception ('wait') or handle it ('waitCatch'); the exception cannot be ignored. * The API makes it possible to build a tree of threads that are automatically killed when their parent dies (see 'withAsync'). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
