27 * In GRAS, using globals is forbidden since the "processes" will
28 * sometimes run as a thread inside the same process (namely, in
29 * simulation mode). So, you have to put all globals in a structure, and
32 * Use the \ref gras_userdata_new macro to create a new user data (or malloc it
33 * and use \ref gras_userdata_set yourself), and \ref gras_userdata_get to
34 * retrieve a reference to it.
