and the memory is released automatically once it is finished. This function
is useful when you don't care about the end nor the success of a
communication you send.
+ * New example: a basic implementation of the Chord P2P algorithm.
SURF
* New model for multi-core CPUs. You can now use the core attribute to
Define XBT_USE_DEPRECATED if you want to use the old numbered macros like
INFO1, INFO2, etc.
* Change xbt_die() to accept a format string with arguments, just like printf.
+ * New data structure: xbt_lib_t, like a dict but more general and with better memory handling.
INSTR
* New configuration options
these options generate traces that are suited to gantt-charts, such as the space-time view of Paje
* The experimental option tracing/msg/volume is deprecated
its functionality may be reincorporated if needed
+ * Buffering
+ The tracing generates a trace file with unordered timestamped events,
+ because of the way the core simulator (surf) works. A script available
+ at the tools directory (fix-paje-trace.sh) can be used to put the events
+ in order. We have changed the tracing so it can generate ordered timestamped
+ events in the final trace, but depending on the simulator (and how much time
+ is simulated) that can lead to a huge memory utilization. It is desactivated
+ by default, but it can be activated using the --cfg=tracing/buffer:1 switch.
Build Infrastructure
* Define a SIMGRID_VERSION macro in simgrid_config.h.
- current value: 30600 for 3.06.00, aka 3.6
* Define macro MAKE_SIMGRID_VERSION(major, minor, patch) to help building
a number that can be compared with SIMGRID_VERSION.
+ * Add a build option -Denable_debug (set to ON by default): when set to OFF,
+ assertions and verbose/debug logging events are disabled at compile time.
