What are the intended and actual differences from the already accepted Statechart library?
The main differences are simplicity and performance. The performance tests show difference by an order of magnitude, in the best case for Boost.Statechart. The overall design of Boost.FSM is geared more to compile-time code generation, while Boost.Statechart aims to support more scaled machines and therefore is geared towards run-time. There is a section in the docs that compares the libraries. I can attest to the necessity of this. We have several exchange

In fact, if I remember correctly, we used a thing on Boost.Vault called "FSM" as an implementation guide.
Hi Chris, I am the review manager for the proposed FSM library, and I was wondering whether you might have time to submit a more comprehensive review? The review period runs until the 20th, but if you need more time it might be possible to extend the review. MV
