Module Picos_mux_thread

Basic Thread
based Picos
compatible scheduler for OCaml 4.
ℹ️ This scheduler implementation is mostly meant as an example and for use in testing libraries implemented in Picos
.
⚠️ This scheduler uses Picos_io_select
internally. If running multiple threads that each run this scheduler, Picos_io_select.configure
must be called by the main thread before creating other threads.
⚠️ This scheduler is probably suitable for simple applications that do not spawn a lot of fibers. If an application uses a lot of short lived fibers, then a more sophisticated scheduler implementation using some sort of thread pool will likely perform significantly better.
⚠️ This scheduler implementation also works on OCaml 5, of course, but on OCaml 5 a scheduler that implements an effect handler directly is likely to perform better.

run_fiber fiber main
runs the main
program as the specified fiber
and returns main
and all of the fibers spawned by main
have returned.
run main
is equivalent to calling run_fiber
with a freshly created fiber and main
wrapped to capture the result of main
.
The optional forbid
argument defaults to false
and determines whether propagation of cancelation is initially allowed.
