Module Luv.TLSSource

Thread-local storage.

See Thread-local storage in libuv.

The interface is currently written in terms of nativeint, the type of pointer-sized raw values. You can store OCaml values in TLS by manipulating and registering them with the GC using Ctypes.Root. The conversions between unit ptr and nativeint are Ctypes.ptr_of_raw_address and Ctypes.raw_address_of_ptr.

A future version of this API is likely to handle GC roots internally, and be directly usable with OCaml values.
