(** Thread pool. *)
type t
(** A pool of threads. The pool contains a fixed number of threads that
wait for work items to come, process these, and loop.
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
simple the single runtime on OCaml 4). *)
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. *)
val add_global_thread_loop_wrapper : thread_loop_wrapper -> unit
(** [add_global_thread_loop_wrapper f] installs [f] to be installed in every new pool worker
thread, for all existing pools, and all new pools created with [create].
These wrappers accumulate: they all apply, but their order is not specified. *)

(** [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. (since 0.2)

and debugging.

val run : t -> (unit -> unit) -> unit
(** [run pool f] schedules [f] for later execution on the pool
in one of the threads. [f()] will run on one of the pool's
worker threads.
@raise Shutdown if the pool was shut down before [run] was called. *)
