Transactions
struct Chest

stm::TVar<int> copper;
stm::TVar<int> coal;
};

struct Chest
{
};
STM-based concurrency

stm::STML<stm::Unit> insert(stm::TVar<int> resource, int count);
stm::STML<stm::Unit> extract( stm::TVar<int> resource1, int count1,
stm::TVar<int> resource2, int count2 );
struct Chest
{
};

stm::STML<stm::Unit> insert(stm::TVar<int> resource, int count);
stm::STML<stm::Unit> extract( stm::TVar<int> resource1, int count1,
stm::TVar<int> resource2, int count2 );
stm::Context ctx;
stm::atomically(ctx, insert(chest.iron, 1) ); // Thread 1
stm::atomically(ctx, insert(chest.copper, 1) ); // Thread 2
stm::atomically(ctx, insert(chest.coal, 1) ); // Thread 3
stm::atomically(ctx, extract(chest.coal, 3, chest.iron, 3) ); // Thread 4
stm::atomically(ctx, extract(chest.coal, 3, chest.copper, 3) ); // Thread 5
struct Chest
{
};

template <typename A>
STML<TVar<A>> newTVar(const A& val);
STM: TVar operations
newTVar :: a → STML (TVar a)

STML<A> readTVar(const TVar<A>& tvar);
readTVar :: TVar a → STML a

STML<Unit> writeTVar(const TVar<A>& tvar,
const A& val);
readTVar :: TVar a → STML a
writeTVar :: TVar a → a → STML ()

STM: Monadically composable transactions
transaction :: STML Int
transaction = do
tvar ← newTVar 10
readTVar tvar
STML<int> transaction() {
STML<TVar<int>> tvarTrans = newTVar(10);
// return readTVar(tvarTrans);
// ????
}

STM: Monadically composable transactions
transaction = do
tvar ← newTVar 10
readTVar tvar
transaction =
bind (newTVar 10) (tvar → readTVar tvar)
// return readTVar(tvarTrans);
// ????
}
return bind(tvarTrans,
[](TVar<int> tvar) {
return readTVar(tvar);
});
}

Sample: Extract resources transaction
STML<Unit> extract (TVar<int> resource1, int count1, TVar<int> resource2, int count2) {
STML<Unit> t1 = extractResource (resource1, count1);
STML<Unit> t2 = extractResource (resource2, count2);
return bind (t1, [=](Unit) { return t2; });
}
STML<Unit> extractResource (TVar<int> resource, int count) {
STML<int> trans1 = readTVar (resource);
return bind (trans1, [=](int value) {
return value >= count
? writeTVar (recource, value - count)
: retry();
});
}

STM: C++ Interface
template <typename A, typename B>
STML bind(const STML<A> ma,
const std::function<STML(A)>& f);
STML<A> pure(const A& val);
STML<A> retry();
STML<Unit> writeTVar(const TVar<A>& tvar,
const A& val);

v2 ← pure 10
pure (v1 + v2)
STML<int> transaction()
{
return bind (newTVar (42), [=](TVar<int> tvar)
