concurrency_simutime

#Concurrency.simutime

##Syntax simutime : int

##Description The simutime function returns the number of simulated time units that have passed since program execution began.

##Details Simulated time only passes when all process are either paused or waiting. This simulates the fact that CPU time is effectively infinitely faster than "pause" time.

##Example This prints out the simulated time passing between two processes. This will print out 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 21, ...

    process p (t : int)
        loop
            pause t
            put simutime
        end loop
    end p
    
    fork p (3)
    fork p (5)

##Status Exported unqualified.

This means that you can call the function by calling simutime or by calling Concurrency.simutime.
