A thin wrapper around a subset of unagi-chan based on unliftio.

The unit tests and benchmarks in this project excercise a subset of unagi-chan, so hopefully the user of this library doesn’t have to worry about this.

This project also aims to implicitly verify parts of unagi-chan.

The overall goal is to reduce the risk of live and dead locks and thread starvation, as well as acceptable performance even in massively concurrent programs.

Module Structure

The library is contained in modules with names starting with UnliftIO.MessageBox.

Also the module UnliftIO.MessageBox (API docs) (Hackage) exposes the API, and can be used to import everything.

The full documentation is either on this page(build log) or on Hackage.

Memory Leak Tests

This is a small application with a 1002 processes, each performing a fix amount of work.

When the work is done, all processes synchronise before starting a new iteration. After each iteration, the memory usage is queried from the GHC runtime statistics. There are 10 iterations like that.

After that all processes are shutdown, and the process starts all over again, 5 times.

In total 50 iterations.

If memory is leaked it should become visible.

The test program is executed with the +RTS -Mxxxm option that instructs the runtime to limit the available heap to xxx MB, so if there is a memory leak, the program would at some point crash with a heap exhaustion error.

The output is printed into this log file.
