An ownership policy and deadlock detector for promises
2021
Task-parallel programs often enjoy deadlock freedom under certain restrictions, such as the use of structured join operations, as in Cilk and X10, or the use of asynchronous task futures together with deadlock-avoiding policies such as Known Joins or Transitive Joins. However, the promise, a popular synchronization primitive for parallel tasks, does not enjoy deadlock-freedom guarantees. Promises can exhibit deadlock-like bugs; however, the concept of a deadlock is not currently well-defined for promises.
