[Caml-list] 'global' variables

[Caml-list] 'global' variables

[Animesh Pathak]

dear members,
Is it possible for two threads to share data by using a global variable and 
*not* giving it to a thread as an argument??

Please send me a small example to illustrate the same.

Thanks in advance
Animesh
P.S. Thanks to Michal for replying to my earlier query

as in :

let var = "string"

let f () = print_endline var; print_endline "thread"

let _ = Thread.create f ()

let _ = print_endline var



(by the way, var may be a reference, or anything).
