Function stm_core::optionally

pub fn optionally<T, F>(tx: &mut Transaction, f: F) -> StmResult<Option<T>> where
    F: Fn(&mut Transaction) -> StmResult<T>, 

Optionally run a transaction f. If f fails with a retry(), it does not cancel the whole transaction, but returns None.

Note that optionally does not always recover the function, if inconsistencies where found.

unwrap_or_retry is the inverse of optionally.

Example

let x:Option<i32> = atomically(|tx| 
    optionally(tx, |_| retry()));
assert_eq!(x, None);
