(** Module for building concurrent [Lin] tests over {!Thread}s

    Context switches in {!Thread}s may happen
    - at allocations and
    - at safepoints {:https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/10039}.

    This module relies on [Gc.Memprof] support to trigger more frequent context
    switching between threads at allocation sites. This works well in OCaml
    4.11.0-4.14.x and 5.3.0 onwards where [Gc.Memprof] is available.

    In OCaml 5.0-5.2 without [Gc.Memprof] support the context switching at
    allocation sites will be inferior. As a consequence the module may fail to
    trigger concurrency issues.

    Context switches at safepoints will trigger much less frequently. This
    means the module may fail to trigger concurrency issues in connection with
    these. Consider yourself warned.
