TVar一个事务可以以原子方式更新两个不同的 s 吗?即我可以用大量的 s 组成数据结构TVar来减少争用吗?如果是这样,你能举个例子吗?

一个事务可以以原子方式更新两个不同的 TVar 吗?

是的,您可以在一个事务中自动更新多个 TVar。这就是STM的全部意义所在。如果你不能,它不会很有用。

我可以从大量 TVar 中组合数据结构以减少争用吗?如果是这样,你能举个例子吗?

这是一个将 TVar 存储在数据结构中的(有点愚蠢的)示例。它模拟了银行账户之间的一堆随机并发交易,其中每个账户只是一个TVar Integer. 帐户 TVar 保存在帐户 ID 的映射中,帐户 ID 本身保存在 TVar 中,以便可以即时创建新帐户。

import Control.Concurrent
import Control.Concurrent.MVar
import Control.Concurrent.STM
import Control.Monad
import System.Random

import qualified Data.Map as Map

type AccountId = Int
type Account = TVar Dollars
type Dollars = Integer
type Bank = TVar (Map.Map AccountId Account)

numberOfAccounts = 20
threads = 100
transactionsPerThread = 100
maxAmount = 1000

-- Get account by ID, create new empty account if it didn't exist
getAccount :: Bank -> AccountId -> STM Account
getAccount bank accountId = do
  accounts <- readTVar bank
  case Map.lookup accountId accounts of
    Just account -> return account
    Nothing -> do
      account <- newTVar 0
      writeTVar bank $ Map.insert accountId account accounts
      return account

-- Transfer amount between two accounts (accounts can go negative)
transfer :: Dollars -> Account -> Account -> STM ()
transfer amount from to = when (from /= to) $ do
  balanceFrom <- readTVar from
  balanceTo <- readTVar to
  writeTVar from $! balanceFrom - amount
  writeTVar to $! balanceTo + amount

randomTransaction :: Bank -> IO ()
randomTransaction bank = do
  -- Make a random transaction
  fromId <- randomRIO (1, numberOfAccounts)
  toId   <- randomRIO (1, numberOfAccounts)
  amount <- randomRIO (1, maxAmount)

  -- Perform it atomically
  atomically $ do
    from <- getAccount bank fromId
    to   <- getAccount bank toId
    transfer amount from to

main = do
  bank <- newTVarIO Map.empty

  -- Start some worker threads to each do a number of random transactions
  workers <- replicateM threads $ do
    done <- newEmptyMVar
    forkIO $ do
      replicateM_ transactionsPerThread $ randomTransaction bank
      putMVar done ()
    return done

  -- Wait for worker threads to finish
  mapM_ takeMVar workers

  -- Print list of accounts and total bank balance (which should be zero)
  summary <- atomically $ do
    accounts <- readTVar bank
    forM (Map.assocs accounts) $ \(accountId, account) -> do
      balance <- readTVar account
      return (accountId, balance)

  mapM_ print summary
  putStrLn "----------------"
  putStrLn $ "TOTAL BALANCE: " ++ show (sum $ map snd summary)

如果在传输过程中没有竞争条件,这应该在最后打印总余额为零。

事务是完全原子的;如果它修改了多个TVars,则这两个更改将一起发生,原子地,孤立地发生。在单个atomically块中运行的任何东西都是单个事务。例如:

swap :: (Num a) => TVar a -> TVar a -> STM ()
swap v1 v2 = do
    a <- readTVar v1
    b <- readTVar v2
    writeTVar v1 b
    writeTVar v2 a

在这里,swap a b将原子交换两个TVars。这种原子事务的可组合性是 STM 的主要优点之一。
