Verification monad
Verification monad
The verification monad is similar to ResourceT
in intent, in that we can
register handlers to be run to release resources. Unlike ResourceT
,
however, we maintain _two_ handlers: a cleanup handler which is run whether
or not verification succeeds, and a finalisation handler which is run only if
verification succeeds.
- Cleanup handlers are registered using
acquire
, and are guaranteed to run just before the computation terminates (after the finalisation handler). - The finalisation handlers are run only when verification succeeds, and can
be registered with
ifVerified
. Finalisation can be used for instance to update the local cache (which should only happen if verification is successful).
acquire :: IO a -> (a -> IO ()) -> Verify a Source #
Acquire a resource and register the corresponding cleanup handler
NOTE: Resource acquisition happens with exceptions masked. If it is important that the resource acquistion can be timed out (or receive other kinds of asynchronous exceptions), you will need to use an interruptible operation. See http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2014/08/asynchronous-exceptions/ for details.
ifVerified :: IO () -> Verify () Source #
Register an action to be run only if verification succeeds
