5 *  @desc     This module implements _one_ generic synchronization mechanism
6 *            for TTCN-3 test cases with one or more test components.
7 *            Key concept is here that one test component acts as a
8 *            synchronization server which listens and triggers one or more
9 *            synchronization clients. It is recomended to use the MTC always as
10 *            the synchronization server but in theory also a PTC can act as such
11 *            a server.<br><br>
12 *            This synchronization is used by calling a function on
13 *            the server test component to wait for a desired amount of clients
14 *            to notify the server that they have reached a specific synchronization
15 *            point. Each client test component must call another
16 *            function to perform this notification.<br><br>
17 *            In the event that a client is not able to reach a synchronization
18 *            point the server sends out a signal to all clients to abort the
19 *            test case. This signal is a STOP message which can be caught by
20 *            a test component default which in turn can then run a proper
21 *            shut down behavior based on the current state of the test
22 *            component. <br><br>
23 *            Note that this synchronization mechanism can also be used
24 *            in a special mode called "self synchronization" when a test case
25 *            only has one test component. Here, the test component in essence
26 *            acts as a server and client at the same time. The main benefit of
27 *            using self synchoronization is that the same shutdown mechanisms
28 *            can also be reused fomr the multi component test cases. <br><br>
29 *            This module contains a lot of TTCN-3 definitions. It has been
30 *            structured into tree main groups to help the user to identify
31 *            quickly relevant TTCN-3 definitions. For rookie users of this
32 *            module basicUserRelevantDefinitions should offer all the needed
33 *            definitions. Advanced users can consider use of definitions in
34 *            advancedUserRelevantDefinitions. Finally, internalDefinitions
35 *            are definitions which are required for the module to work
36 *            properly but do not need to be used in your code. Remember that
37 *            the main motiviation of this sychronization module is to offer
38 *            are _simple_ user interface. Practice has shown that when writing
39 *            actual test component behavior _only a handful_ of functions
40 *            usually wind up being used! Also check the synchronization examples
41 *            module for example uses of this synchronization mechanism.<br><br>
42 *            The invocation of the sync functions is also closely tied
43 *            to the verdict control functions which should also be reviewed
44 *            prior to using this module. <br><br>
45 *            This module has been derived from EtsiCommon_Synchronization
46 *            which was created in ETSIs STF256/276. It has been kept
47 *            intentionally separate to avoid conflicts with future ETSI
48 *            test suite releases.
49 *  @see      LibCommon_Sync.basicUserRelevantDefinitions
50 *  @see      LibCommon_Sync.advancedUserRelevantDefinitions
51 *  @remark   End users should be aware that any changes made to the  in
52 *            definitions this module may be overwritten in future releases.
53 *            End users are encouraged to contact the distributers of this
54 *            module regarding their modifications or additions so that future
55 *            updates will include your changes.
