+ * Every modification of the environment must be protected this way: every setter, constructor and similar.
+ * Getters don't have to be protected this way.
+ *
+ * This allows deterministic parallel simulation without any locking, even if almost nobody uses parallel simulation in
+ * SimGrid. More interestingly it makes every modification of the simulated world observable by the model-checker,
+ * allowing the whole MC business.
*
- * run_blocking() is a generic blocking simcall. It is given a callback
- * which is executed immediately in the SimGrid kernel. The callback is
- * responsible for setting the suitable logic for waking up the process
- * when needed.
+ * It is highly inspired from the syscalls in a regular operating system, allowing the user code to get some specific
+ * code executed in the kernel context. But here, there is almost no security involved. Parameters get checked for
+ * finitness but that's all. The main goal remain to ensure reproductible ordering of uncomparable events (in [parallel]
+ * simulation) and observability of events (in model-checking).
*
- * @ref simix::kernelSync() is a higher level wrapper for this.
+ * The code passed as argument is supposed to terminate at the exact same simulated timestamp.
+ * Do not use it if your code may block waiting for a subsequent event, e.g. if you lock a mutex,
+ * you may need to wait for that mutex to be unlocked by its current owner.
+ * Potentially blocking simcall must be issued using simcall_blocking(), right below in this file.

+ * This is very similar to simcall() right above, but the calling actor will not get rescheduled until
+ * actor->simcall_answer() is called explicitely.
+ *
+ * This is meant for blocking actions. For example, locking a mutex is a blocking simcall.
+ * First it's a simcall because that's obviously a modification of the world. Then, that's a blocking simcall because if
+ * the mutex happens not to be free, the actor is added to a queue of actors in the mutex. Every mutex->unlock() takes
+ * the first actor from the queue, mark it as current owner of the mutex and call actor->simcall_answer() to mark that
+ * this mutex is now unblocked and ready to run again. If the mutex is initially free, the calling actor is unblocked
+ * right away with actor->simcall_answer() once the mutex is marked as locked.
*
- * This can be used to enforce mutual exclusion with other simcall.
- * More importantly, this enforces a deterministic/reproducible ordering
- * of the operation with respect to other simcalls.
+ * If your code never calls actor->simcall_answer() itself, the actor will never return from its simcall.
