val new_key : ?split_from_parent:('a -> 'a) -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a key
new_key f
returns a new key bound to initialiser f
for accessing
domain-local variables.
If split_from_parent
is provided, spawning a domain will derive the
child value (for this key) from the parent value.
Note that the split_from_parent
call is computed in the parent
domain, and is always computed regardless of whether the child domain
will use it. If the splitting function is expensive or requires
client-side computation, consider using 'a Lazy.t key
.
val get : 'a key -> 'a
get k
returns v
if a value v
is associated to the key k
on
the calling domain's domain-local state. Sets k
's value with its
initialiser and returns it otherwise.
val set : 'a key -> 'a -> unit
set k v
updates the calling domain's domain-local state to associate
the key k
with value v
. It overwrites any previous values associated
to k
, which cannot be restored later.
