Hi David,
Anyway, I just got tired of being a grumpy old passive man, so decided to put some of my money (or time) where my mouth is. I will write more about this side effect of my analysis in a blog post later
I find it great and worth of respect that you spent time making a useful contribution to the discussion by going the extra mile (or even 2-3) to present your point. While I am by no mean a friend of the preprocessor, I find your solution interesting and encourage you to push it a bit further by supporting at least guards. If you allow a few comments: - I suggest you to give the action a name because you won't always manage to name an action actState1EventState2, for example with 2 transitions with the same source and target. - this would also remove the need for direct code writing, which could break the preprocessor - What about adding some entry/exit? I'm sure you manage to pack this one too. Otherwise I find the idea surprising but fun and think that it could gain being pushed a bit further. If you do, you could even tempt me to reuse it in an eUML front-end ;-) Christophe
