-- This function is useful for using 'IORef' in a safe way in a multithreaded

--
-- Extending the atomicity to multiple 'IORef's is problematic, so it
-- is recommended that if you need to do anything more complicated
-- then using 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.MVar' instead is a good idea.
--
-- 'atomicModifyIORef' does not apply the function strictly. This is important
-- to know even if all you are doing is replacing the value. For example, this

-- >ref <- newIORef '1'

#memmodel#
Most modern CPU achitectures (e.g. x86/64, ARM) have a memory model which allows
threads to reorder reads with earlier writes to different locations,
e.g. see <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/intel-sdm.html the x86/64 architecture manual>,
8.2.3.4 Loads May Be Reordered with Earlier Stores to Different Locations.
Because of that, in a concurrent program, 'IORef' operations may appear out-of-order
to another thread. In the following example:
> import Data.IORef
> import Control.Monad (unless)
> import Control.Concurrent (forkIO, threadDelay)
>
> maybePrint :: IORef Bool -> IORef Bool -> IO ()
> maybePrint myRef yourRef = do
> writeIORef myRef True
> yourVal <- readIORef yourRef
> unless yourVal $ putStrLn "critical section"
>
> main :: IO ()
> main = do
> r1 <- newIORef False
> r2 <- newIORef False
> forkIO $ maybePrint r1 r2
> forkIO $ maybePrint r2 r1
> threadDelay 1000000
it is possible that the string @"critical section"@ is printed
twice, even though there is no interleaving of the operations of the
two threads that allows that outcome. The memory model of x86/64
allows 'readIORef' to happen before the earlier 'writeIORef'.
The ARM memory order model is typically even weaker than x86/64, allowing
any reordering of reads and writes as long as they are independent
from the point of view of the current thread.
The implementation is required to ensure that reordering of memory
operations cannot cause type-correct code to go wrong. In
particular, when inspecting the value read from an 'IORef', the
memory writes that created that value must have occurred from the
point of view of the current thread.
'atomicWriteIORef', 'atomicModifyIORef' and 'atomicModifyIORef'' act
as a barrier to reordering. Multiple calls to these functions
occur in strict program order, never taking place ahead of any
earlier (in program order) 'IORef' operations, or after any later
'IORef' operations.
