I'd love to see a DSL ( Domain Specific Language ) for state charts that generated Alexsey style FSMs with states able to be defined in seperate compilation units. This would solve the scaleabilty problems.
If you're talking about this http://boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/mpl/example/fsm/player2.cpp then there is nothing to put in separate TUs because states are numbers. Probably, you mixed states up with transitions. This is more a problem of proposed Boost.FSM then yours. In my
I don't think so. Even with Aleksey's approach, with an FSM becoming sufficiently large at some stage the compiler will give up because it reached its template nesting depth limit or compilation becomes infeasible because it takes too long (usually because the compiler eats up so much memory that there's a lot of swapping).
That could happen in any program that uses templates. Or uses a compiler, for that matter. I believe this to be FUD, and false for practical sizes of FSMs. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
