Headline

A Clojure-based implementation that uses transactional references

Motivation

Clojure provides a number of interesting approaches to the development with concurrency. One of these approaches is the use of programmable transactions, analogous to database transactions. This functionality is implemented by means of transaction-specific functions and references. To maintain a consistent memory state, Clojure relies on a STM. This project is based on the implementation Contribution:clojure and changes it so that Refs and transactions are used.

Illustration

Changes to Refs by a transformation like Feature:Cut have to be encapsulated into a transaction. In Clojure the function dosync starts such a transaction allowing to alter Refs by an update function.

(defn cutCompany [c]
    (dosync
        ;; alter ref function
        (alter c #(update-in % [:depts] (partial map cutDept))))
    ;; returning changed ref
    c)

Architecture

Usage

You need to install the Eclipse plugin CounterClockwise. Update Site: http://ccw.cgrand.net/updatesite

Then open meganalysis.clj, hit "run" and excute the function you like:

  • (totalCompany meganalysis)
  • (cutCompany meganalysis)
The implementation has been tested with Eclipse version 3.7 and Technology:CounterClockwise Eclipse plugin (Version 0.3.0).
