# CallType handler? name (resulttype,resultcast) (arg0name,arg0type,arg0cast) (arg1name,arg1type,arg1cast)
# CallType must be one of the three:
-# - Func: returning a value immediately
-# - Blck: Blocking call that does not return in the same scheduling round
+#
+# - Func: returning a value immediately (within the same scheduling round)
+# examples: all getters that only retrieve informations with no side effect
+#
# - Proc: not returning any value (but doing so immediately)
+# examples: all setters, *_cancel
+#
+# - Blck: Blocking call that does not return in the same scheduling round.
+# The answer requires some interaction with SURF, even if this can
+# still occure at the same timestamp under some circonstances (eg
+# if the surf_action cannot start because of resources that are down)
+# examples: things that last some time (communicate, execute, mutex_lock)
+#
+# In a perfect world, these answers would also be handled by the
+# script, but we are not there yet. Instead, the answer is manually
+# generated in one of the SIMIX_post_*() functions, that are called
+# when we unpack the done and failed actions returned by surf after
+# a surf simulation round. Weird things happen if you forget to
+# answer a given simcall in there...
+
+
# Handler? is either "H" if we need to generate a handler or "-" if we should go without handlers
+# I wish we could completely remove the handlers as their only use is
+# to adapt the interface between the exported symbol that is visible
+# by the user applications and the internal symbol that is implemented
+# by the kernel.
+# The only remaining use of that mechanism is to add the caller
+# identity as a parameter of internal call, but that could be
+# automatized too (eg by having a special parameter type called "self")
