Certainly. Thread main starts several threads - thr1, thr2, etc. thr1 starts two more threads thr1_1 and thr1_2. These threads run forever, except if an error...

Thanks for expressing interest in my problem. Following is a relatively accurate description, yet I've omitted and obfuscated the description for privacy...
... Basically I don't believe that this is a problem which OCaml can solve well. One fundamental problem that OCaml has is that the garbage collector is not...
Hi, I'd like to hear recommendations for build tools to use with OCaml. As far as build tools goes, I have the most experience using ant with Java. What are...
I use OMake. It's like Make but smarter. It can build OCaml and C programs out of the box and is generally much nicer than Make. Good documentation too. ...
... Thanks. It isn't necessary to do so, since I've changed it to work with a kind parameter similar to the raw module, but is there no way to constrain the...

... For pure OCaml programs you don't usually need automake/autoconf. Usually ocamlfind is sufficient, as in: ocamlfind ocamlc -package extlib -c my_prog.ml ...
