Consider adding a more explicit section on "deadlocks" in TLA+

Open will62794 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

People often seem to get tripped up by the semantics of what a deadlock is in TLA+ and how TLC checks for it. For example, see this thread and this thread. To help avoid the same confusion for others in future, might help to include a more explicit section covering the notion of deadlock in TLA+. A note does appear here in the section on processes, but it might be easy to miss if you're looking for details about deadlocks specifically.

Leaving this and the other open because they're still good additions to V2
