module BatConcurrent:sig..end
Definition of concurrency primitives.
type
The light-weight type of a lock, i.e. a construction which may be used to guarantee that a section will not be interrupted by another thread.
This light-weight type is independent of the underlying locking mechanism and can be used if you do not know whether your code will run with vmthreads, Posix threads, coThreads, etc.
val create : enter:(unit -> unit) -> leave:(unit -> unit) -> lockCreate a lock from a pair of locking/unlocking functions
enter : Enter critical section.leave : Leave critical section.
.val nolock : lockA lock which does nothing.
val synchronize : (unit -> lock) -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'bsynchronize locker f returns a function f' which behaves as
f but whose executions are protected by one lock obtained from
locker. The same lock will be reused for all subsequent uses of
f'.
For instance,
synchronize Mutex.make f is a new function whose executions
will by synchronized by a new lock. Conversely,
synchronize (const my_lock) f is a new function whose executions
will be synchronized by an existing lock my_lock.
val sync : lock -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'bSpecialized version of synchronized.
sync lock f behaves as synchronize (const lock) f but slightly faster
val compose : lock -> lock -> lockCompose two lock systems into a third lock system.
