Package: libghc-abstract-deque-doc (0.3-10build2)

abstract, parameterized interface to mutable Deques; documentation

An abstract interface to highly-parameterizable queues/deques.

Background: There exists a feature space for queues that extends between:

  * simple, single-ended, non-concurrent, bounded queues
  * double-ended, threadsafe, growable queues

with important points inbetween (such as the queues used for work-stealing).

This package includes an interface for Deques that allows the programmer to use a single API for all of the above, while using the type-system to select an efficient implementation given the requirements (using type families).

This package also includes a simple reference implementation based on IORef and Data.Sequence.

This package provides the documentation for a library for the Haskell programming language. See http://www.haskell.org/ for more information on Haskell.
