Process Creation¶

A process is a group of actions that is triggered dynamically. A process call takes the following form:

       :: exp (a₁, a₂, ...)

where exp is an expression which evaluates into a proc and the aᵢ are expressions that are the parameters of the process instantiation.

A process call is a compound action: the duration of a call is the duration of the instantiated group¹.

Synchronization attributes, which are inherited by the instantiated group, may be specified. However, the attribute @exclusive has no effect.

Refer to the chapter Process for an in-depth presentation.

Object Creation¶

The remarks for process creation also apply for object creation. Please refer to chapter Object for a thorough presentation on that topic.
