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.

Briefly:

⚠️ 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.

val 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.
