+ * 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.
+ *
+ * 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
+ * finiteness but that's all. The main goal remain to ensure reproducible ordering of uncomparable events (in
+ * [parallel] simulation) and observability of events (in model-checking).
*
- * 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.
+ * 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 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

+ *
+ * If your code never calls actor->simcall_answer() itself, the actor will never return from its simcall.
