I installed the 5.0.0 today (29 June 2023)

Error 1
Did a make: File "aio/dune", line 3, characters 12-16:
3 | (libraries unix)
^^^^
Error: Library "unix" in /home/doug/.opam/5.0.0/lib/ocaml is hidden
*** fix
In .opam/5.0.0/lib/ocaml
I did: cp unix/unix* .
which fixed this problem

Error 2
Did a make: File "mvar/dune", line 3, characters 24-32:
3 | (libraries threads lwt lwt.unix)
^^^^^^^^
Error: Library "lwt.unix" not found.
*** fix
opam install conduit-lwt-unix

Building the examples may break due to upstream changes as seen in #14. So add support for travis-ci to test for these breakages automatically. It appears that the popular way to test OCaml projects is to use ocaml-ci-scripts. The scripts need to be updated to work with the Multicore OCaml compiler.

The CI fails on MacOS with a time out but passes on Linux: https://travis-ci.org/github/ocaml-multicore/effects-examples/builds/747136847

problem

• it unclear as to the preferred mechanism on how to run the various included examples

discussion

perhaps steps such as:

• install per link-to-mutlicore-instructions
• run example via ocamlc ...

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?

(pointed out by @Leonidas-from-XIV)

Currently we use OCamlbuild. We should port the build system to dune.

Is the secondary compiler necessary now since systhreads work with multicore?

Dear effects examples maintainers,

thanks for the very nice examples on OCaml effects, they are very helpful!

@bhaktishh and I were looking into the promises.ml example, however we have noticed that the way the test are written, it seems that we never call the Wait effect, as all the promises are resolved immediately.

It seems to us that having a more complete test could be useful, what do you think?

We have a few ideas on how to solve this, let us know what do you think?

I guess the first to try would be to decouple promise creation from resolution, but we'd like to hear your opinion before trying to do a pull request.

Add the httpaf-based webserver.

PR #42 ported the examples in the repository root to use the new (or reintroduced) effect syntax in handlers. The examples in directories aio/, callback/, multishot, and mvar/ are yet to be ported.
