Small suite of utilities for Lwt. BSD license.

not released yet

Depends on lwt and containers.

Use opam, for instance:

opam pin add -k git containers-lwt https://github.com/c-cube/containers-lwt.git

and

opam install containers-lwt

Use

The library contains a pack module Containers_lwt, with the following modules:

• Lwt_klist: a lazy list of values compatible with Lwt. Resembles Lwt_stream but with memoization, as a pure value.
• Lwt_pipe: a (bounded or unbounded) pipe between consumer(s) and producer(s) with a focus on safety and efficiency. The point is that pushing and poping can block, thus limiting the resource consumption if producers are faster than consumers.

Less stable/usable:

• Lwt_actor: experimental simplistic actor library on top of Lwt
• Lwt_automaton: experimental automatons on top of Lwt
