I've looked, but can't find, a discussion of the choice of a history mechanism for refs.
I can't understand why the transactions just don't check #'identical? for the ref value, rather than maintaining a history queue. In other words, I don't see why (dosync (ref-set foo @foo))) should cause other ongoing transactions, that use foo, to retry. Nothing about foo has changed that will alter a retried transaction. Since an #'identical? mechanism would seem to - be easier to implement - be faster to check at the end of a tranaction - cause fewer retries it must be that I don't really "get it" yet. Does anyone have a doc pointer that would help with the details? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
