- * If the replay sequence has reached the 'diverge' point, returns a thread
- * from the backtracking set. Otherwise, simply returns the next thread in the
- * sequence that is being replayed.
+ * This function chooses the next thread that should execute. It can force the
+ * adjacency of read/write portions of a RMW action, force THREAD_CREATE to be
+ * followed by a THREAD_START, or it can enforce execution replay/backtracking.
+ * The model-checker may have no preference regarding the next thread (i.e.,
+ * when exploring a new execution ordering), in which case this will return
+ * NULL.
+ * @param curr The current ModelAction. This action might guide the choice of
+ * next thread.
+ * @return The next thread to run. If the model-checker has no preference, NULL.
