Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def get(implicit txn: Context): A

    Performs a transactional read and checks that it is consistent with all reads already made by txn.

    Performs a transactional read and checks that it is consistent with all reads already made by txn. Equivalent to apply(), which is more concise in many situations.

    txn

    an active transaction.

    returns

    the value of the Ref as observed by txn.

    Definition Classes
    SourceLike
    Exceptions thrown

    IllegalStateException if txn is not active.

  2. abstract def getWith[Z](f: (A) ⇒ Z)(implicit txn: Context): Z

    Returns f(get), possibly reevaluating f to avoid rollback if a conflicting change is made but the old and new values are equal after application of f.

    Returns f(get), possibly reevaluating f to avoid rollback if a conflicting change is made but the old and new values are equal after application of f. Requires that f(x) == f(y) if x == y.

    getWith(f) is equivalent to f(relaxedGet({ f(_) == f(_) })), although perhaps more efficient.

    f

    an idempotent function.

    returns

    the result of applying f to the value contained in this Ref.

  3. abstract def relaxedGet(equiv: (A, A) ⇒ Boolean)(implicit txn: Context): A

    Returns the same value as get, but allows the caller to determine whether txn should be rolled back if another thread changes the value of this Ref before txn is committed.

    Returns the same value as get, but allows the caller to determine whether txn should be rolled back if another thread changes the value of this Ref before txn is committed. If ref.relaxedGet(equiv) returns v0 in txn, another context changes ref to v1, and equiv(v0, v1) == true, then txn won't be required to roll back (at least not due to this read). If additional changes are made to ref additional calls to the equivalence function will be made, always with v0 as the first parameter.

    equiv will always be invoked on the current thread. Extreme care should be taken if the equivalence function accesses any Refs.

    As an example, to perform a read that will not be validated during commit you can use the maximally permissive equivalence function:

    val unvalidatedValue = ref.relaxedGet({ (_, _) => true })

    To check view serializability rather than conflict serializability for a read:

    val viewSerializableValue = ref.relaxedGet({ _ == _ })

    The getWith method provides related functionality.

    equiv

    an equivalence function that returns true if a transaction that observed the first argument will still complete correctly, where the second argument is the actual value that should have been observed.

    returns

    a value of the Ref, not necessary consistent with the rest of the reads performed by txn.

  4. abstract def set(v: A)(implicit txn: Context): Unit

    Performs a transactional write.

    Performs a transactional write. The new value will not be visible by any other threads until (and unless) txn successfully commits. Equivalent to update(v).

    v

    a value to store in the Ref.

    Definition Classes
    SinkLike
    Exceptions thrown

    IllegalStateException if txn is not active.

  5. abstract def swap(v: A)(implicit txn: Context): A

    Works like set(v), but returns the old value.

    Works like set(v), but returns the old value.

    returns

    the previous value of this Ref, as observed by txn.

    Exceptions thrown

    IllegalStateException if txn is not active.

  6. abstract def transform(f: (A) ⇒ A)(implicit txn: Context): Unit

    Transforms the value referenced by this Ref by applying the function f.

    Transforms the value referenced by this Ref by applying the function f. Acts like ref.set(f(ref.get)), but the execution of f may be deferred or repeated by the STM to reduce transaction conflicts.

    f

    a function that is safe to call multiple times, and safe to call later during the transaction.

    Exceptions thrown

    IllegalStateException if txn is not active.

  7. abstract def transformIfDefined(pf: PartialFunction[A, A])(implicit txn: Context): Boolean

    Transforms the value v referenced by this Ref by to pf.apply(v), but only if pf.isDefinedAt(v).

    Transforms the value v referenced by this Ref by to pf.apply(v), but only if pf.isDefinedAt(v). Returns true if a transformation was performed, false otherwise. pf.apply and pf.isDefinedAt may be deferred or repeated by the STM to reduce transaction conflicts.

    pf

    a partial function that is safe to call multiple times, and safe to call later in the transaction.

    returns

    pf.isDefinedAt(v), where v was the value of this Ref before transformation (if any).

    Exceptions thrown

    IllegalStateException if txn is not active.

  8. abstract def trySet(v: A)(implicit txn: Context): Boolean

    Performs a transactional write and returns true, or returns false.

    Performs a transactional write and returns true, or returns false. The STM implementation may choose to return false to reduce (not necessarily avoid) blocking. If no other threads are performing any transactional or atomic accesses then this method will succeed.

    Transforms the value stored in the Ref by decrementing it.

    the quantity by which to decrement the value of this Ref.

  6. def /=(rhs: A)(implicit txn: Context, num: Numeric[A]): Unit

    Transforms the value stored the Ref by performing a division on it, throwing away the remainder if division is not exact for instances of type A.

    Transforms the value stored the Ref by performing a division on it, throwing away the remainder if division is not exact for instances of type A. The careful reader will note that division is actually provided by Fractional[A] or Integral[A], it is not defined on Numeric[A]. To avoid compile-time ambiguity this method accepts a Numeric[A] and assumes that it can be converted at runtime into either a Fractional[A] or an Integral[A].

    Note: Implementations may choose to ignore the provided Numeric[A] instance if A is a primitive type.

    rhs

    the quantity by which to divide the value of this Ref.

    txn
