(** Thread pool. A pool of threads. The pool contains a fixed number of threads that wait for work items to come, process these, and loop. This implements {!Runner.t} since 0.3. If a pool is no longer needed, {!shutdown} can be used to signal all threads in it to stop (after they finish their work), and wait for them to stop. The threads are distributed across a fixed domain pool (whose size is determined by {!Domain.recommended_domain_count} on OCaml 5, and simply the single runtime on OCaml 4). *) include module type of Runner type thread_loop_wrapper = thread:Thread.t -> pool:t -> (unit -> unit) -> unit -> unit (** A thread wrapper [f] takes the current thread, the current pool, and the worker function [loop : unit -> unit] which is the worker's main loop, and returns a new loop function. By default it just returns the same loop function but it can be used to install tracing, effect handlers, etc. *) type ('a, 'b) create_args = ?on_init_thread:(dom_id:int -> t_id:int -> unit -> unit) -> ?on_exit_thread:(dom_id:int -> t_id:int -> unit -> unit) -> ?thread_wrappers:thread_loop_wrapper list -> ?on_exn:(exn -> Printexc.raw_backtrace -> unit) -> ?around_task:(t -> 'b) * (t -> 'b -> unit) -> ?min:int -> ?per_domain:int -> 'a (** Arguments used in {!create}. See {!create} for explanations. *) val create : (unit -> t, _) create_args (** [create ()] makes a new thread pool. @param on_init_thread called at the beginning of each new thread in the pool. @param min minimum size of the pool. It will be at least [1] internally, so [0] or negative values make no sense. @param per_domain is the number of threads allocated per domain in the fixed domain pool. The default value is [0], but setting, say, [~per_domain:2] means that if there are [8] domains (which might be the case on an 8-core machine) then the minimum size of the pool is [16]. If both [min] and [per_domain] are specified, the maximum of both [min] and [per_domain * num_of_domains] is used. @param on_exit_thread called at the end of each thread in the pool @param thread_wrappers a list of {!thread_loop_wrapper} functions to use for this pool's workers. @param around_task a pair of [before, after], where [before pool] is called before a task is processed, on the worker thread about to run it, and returns [x]; and [after pool x] is called by the same thread after the task is over.
