Non-blocking codec interface design for OCaml (pattern, experiment)
Nbcodec — non-blocking IO interface design for OCaml
The rationale behind the design can be found in RATIONALE.md.
In src/se.ml there are two implementations of a streaming codec for
simplified ASCII s-expressions.
Se.Bimplements a blocking codec.Se.Nbimplements a non-blocking codec.Se.Enbimplements a codec in direct style with an API that could be non-blocking assuming algebraic effects are part of the language.
The api documentation can be generated with
./build doc
the result is in _build/doc/api.docdir/Se.html.
The executable setrip.native can be used to test and benchmark the codecs,
the source is test/setrip.ml it can be built with :
./build setrip.native
For example :
./setrip.native -enc -rseed 1067894368 > 1067894368.sexp
will generate a 32 Mo file of random s-expressions with the non-blocking
codec. Use setrip.native -help for more information.
