 ## Stack allocations

 ## Exceptions
 I didn't dive into how exceptions are handled, but it seems that the ones related to creature actions have the outter most endpoint at `TCreature::Execute`. There can also be some checkpoints in between to modify a `RESULT` value or handle a failure.
 
+## Synchronization
+I'm not sure whether synchronization is done properly. The implementation of the first few `crplayer.cc` functions left me with a taste of race conditions although integer loads on x86 are generally atomic.
+
+I'm also under the impression that `getpid()` is used for retrieving the current thread id, so we'll have to wait and see how things unfold outside the main thread.

 ## Estimate
 The decompiled file has ~115K lines of C. If we take ~15K lines to be rubbish, this can be round to ~100K. Considering a low estimate of 200 lines per day, the whole process could take up to 500 days which is quite a bit but not impossible. Now considering a high estimate of 1K lines per day, it could take 100 days which is also quite a bit.
