module Async_condition:sig
..end
This is analogous to OCaml's Condition
module. The main guarantee that a condition
variable provides is that a call to signal
(or broadcast
) after a call to wait
will be seen by the waiter.
Unlike the use of condition variables in ordinary threaded programs, async condition
variables do not require a mutex, since async programs are cooperatively threaded.
