Subject: Do not call flush automatically in communcator::send...
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~188^2~43
X-Git-Url: https://bilbo.iut-bm.univ-fcomte.fr/and/gitweb/loba.git/commitdiff_plain/404a8d5b50296756e0896c1914750fa235720946?ds=inline;hp=-c

Do not call flush automatically in communcator::send...

... and insert appropriate calls in process methods.

The goal is here to destroy achieved communications as soon as
possible, and avoid a bug in SimGrid 3.5 that make the simulation
very slow when there are many communications.
