`Yield` effect unused in `aio`

Open Sudha247 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/effects-examples/blob/master/aio/aio.ml#L16 defines Yield here, but it's not used anywhere in the rest of the scheduler. Was it supposed to be used somewhere or could we remove it?

I suppose it is unused in this example (the echo server), and as such it could probably go. In general it can be quite useful as a primitive to force preemption rather than having to perform an IO operation.

Fixed by #38.
