Module Picos_fifosSource

Basic single-threaded effects based Picos compatible scheduler for OCaml 5.

ℹ️ This scheduler implementation is mostly meant as an example and for use in testing libraries implemented in Picos.

Briefly:

  • current returns the current fiber.
  • spawn forks a new deep effect handler for each fiber.
  • yield pushes the current fiber to the back of the internal queue and takes the next fiber to run from the head of the internal queue.
  • cancel_after uses a per-domain background thread that runs a Unix.select loop to cancel computations.
  • await stores the current fiber to be resumed through the trigger and takes next fiber to run from the head of the internal queue.

This scheduler also gives priority to fibers woken up from await due to being canceled.

Sourceval run : ?forbid:bool -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a

run main runs the main thunk with the scheduler. Returns after main and all of the fibers spawned by main have returned.

The optional forbid argument defaults to false and determines whether propagation of cancelation is initially allowed.
