Detailed Description

Module describing messaging.

Messagging is done beetween two cell s by sending missive s. So no messages ;)

The most simple example of messaging usage is the send_msg.cpp program.

The classical more complex example of the eating philosophers is coded in the philo.cpp program and shows some Addressing features and Memory features of the library.

Messaging has deterministic behaviour. No indeterminism. Unlike the Actor Model.

For a any pair of cells Cell_A and Cell_B:

• A message sent by Cell_A is always received by Cell_B only once.
• Messages are always received by Cell_B in the same order they are sent by Cell_A.
• Cell_A (sending) always does local workeru writing and Cell_B (receiving) always does remote workeru reading. No message copying.
