Ocaml multithreaded shared library

Ocaml multithreaded shared library

[matthieu.dubuget]

Hello!

I did one multithreaded Caml library.

The API allow to:
- create one thread
- stop it
- get information from it
- ...

When called from an Ocaml test program, no problem:
everything works as expected.

My naive idea was to turn it into a shared library (well, a
DLL because the real project is targeted on windows OS, but
the problem is the same on linux), and call it from another
language. Let say at least for tests.

But it does not work because the Ocaml thread seems to stop
working when the function that created it returns.

Is this way to work possible or have I to change my idea?
