OCaml threads context switch example

 / Published in: Other
 

this example checks that when the context switch occurs in the O'Caml runtime. compile it with:

  1. ocamlc -vmthread -I +threads -I unix unix.cmxa threads.cmxa filename.ml
  2. ocamlc -thread -I +threads -I unix unix.cmxa threads.cmxa filename.ml
  3. ocamlopt -thread -I +threads -I unix unix.cmxa threads.cmxa filename.ml

both 1. and 2. terminates, while 3. not (on my OCaml 3.11.1, on Mac OS X).

  8.  
  9. Thread.create (fun _ -> forever ()) ();;
  10.  
  11. wait ();; (* blocks forever if we comment out both occurrence of `allocation' *)
