6 /* This example shows how to use simgrid::s4u::this_actor::wait_any() to wait for the first occurring event.
8 * As for the other asynchronous examples, the sender initiate all the messages it wants to send and
9 * pack the resulting simgrid::s4u::CommPtr objects in a vector. All messages thus occur concurrently.
11 * The sender then loops until there is no ongoing communication. Using wait_any() ensures that the sender
12 * will notice events as soon as they occur even if it does not follow the order of the container.
14 * Here, finalize messages will terminate earlier because their size is 0, so they travel faster than the
15 * other messages of this application. As expected, the trace shows that the finalize of worker 1 is
16 * processed before 'Message 5' that is sent to worker 0.
