Module Lwt_gc


module Lwt_gc: sig .. end
Interaction with the garbage collector

This module offer a convenient way to add a finaliser launching a thread to a value, without having to use Lwt_unix.run in the finaliser.
val finalise : ('a -> unit Lwt.t) -> 'a -> unit
finalise f x calls f x when x is garbage collected. If f x yields, then Lwt will waits for its termination at the end of the program.
val finalise_or_exit : ('a -> unit Lwt.t) -> 'a -> unit
finalise_or_exit f x call f x when x is garbage collected or (exclusively) when the program exit.
