Hi Bill, You are correct in that this involves close integration with the STM. The agent implementation is aware of transactions and if a transaction is running when dispatching an action, it will be enqneued in a special agent action queue that STM implementation respects.
AFAIK there is no public API for checking if a transaction is currently running. See: https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/Agent.java#L249 https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/LockingTransaction.java#L106 On Wednesday, 15 July 2015 13:26:11 UTC+1, William la Forge wrote: > > On this page http://clojure.org/agents I read the following: > "Agents are integrated with the STM - any dispatches made in a > transaction are held until it commits, and are discarded if it is retried > or aborted." > > So there must be a way to tell if a dispatch is made from within a > transaction.
