Module Lwt_preemptive

module Lwt_preemptive: sig .. end

This module allows to mix preemptive threads with Lwt cooperative threads. It maintains an extensible pool of preemptive threads to with you can detach computations.

val detach : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b Lwt.t

detaches a computation to a preemptive thread.

val init : int -> int -> (string -> unit) -> unit

init min max log initialises this module. i.e. it launches the minimum number of preemptive threads and starts the dispatcher.

val simple_init : unit -> unit

simple_init () does a simple initialization. i.e. with default parameters if the library is not yet initialised.

Note: this function is automatically called Lwt_preemptive.detach.

val get_bounds : unit -> int * int

get_bounds () returns the minimum and the maximum number of preemptive threads.

val set_bounds : int * int -> unit

set_bounds (min, max) set the minimum and the maximum number of preemptive threads.

val set_max_number_of_threads_queued : int -> unit

Sets the size of the waiting queue, if no more preemptive threads are available. When the queue is full, Lwt_preemptive.detach will sleep until a thread is available.

val get_max_number_of_threads_queued : unit -> int

Returns the size of the waiting queue, if no more threads are available
