Hi, I'm trying to setup a MSM state machine, according to : https://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_thread/thread/bd9854b58a33... I can setup a state machine level internal_transition_table to handle the state-independent events. but the build failed if the transition_table has Completion (anonymous) transitions. I did following test: 1. if I remove the internal_transition_table, the build succeed. 2. if I give an event to the Rows, then the build succeed tool Row < Initialized , none , Synchronized >, Row < Synchronized , none , WaitResponse , sendPoll >, could anybody give me some clues about this? thanks. following is the code: #include <iostream> // back-end #include //front-end #include #include //#include // for And_ operator //#include using namespace std; namespace msm = boost::msm; using namespace msm::front; namespace mpl = boost::mpl; // for And_ operator //using namespace msm::front::euml; namespace { // events struct evt_empty {}; struct evt_response{}; // front-end: define the FSM structure struct mystatemachine_ : public msm::front::state_machine_def { // The list of FSM states struct Initialized : public msm::front::state<> { // every (optional) entry/exit methods get the event passed. template void on_entry(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "entering: Initialized" << std::endl; } template void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) {std::cout << "leaving: Initialized" << std::endl;} }; struct Synchronized : public msm::front::state<> { // every (optional) entry/exit methods get the event passed. template void on_entry(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "entering: Synchronized" << std::endl; } template void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) {std::cout << "leaving: Synchronized" << std::endl;} }; struct WaitResponse : public msm::front::state<> { // every (optional) entry/exit methods get the event passed. template void on_entry(Event const&,FSM& ) { std::cout << "entering: WaitBSPResponse" << std::endl; } template void on_exit(Event const&,FSM& ) {std::cout << "leaving: WaitBSPResponse" << std::endl;} }; // the initial state of the sas SM.
