Hi Michal

we are looking for a solution to visualize FSMs in our robotic applications. Before starting the development of our own tool I'd like to ask whether there exists something able to visualize Boost.Statecharts FSMs.

No, as far as I know.

I was only able to find the following GSOC project: [snip links] but in my quick tests it produced only empty figures. I believe that after some debugging I could make it work.

Personally I wouldn't bother. IIRC, the project depends on GCC_XML, the latest release of which is still 0.6, from 2004. There is activity in source control but I'm not sure it has anything to do with the tool.

My question is whether the development of this tool continues or whether there are some other tools. In case of negative answers, do you have any suggestions for the development of the new tool? Currently, we consider the development of a GCC plugin which will generate dot (graphviz) source.

I don't know anything about GCC plugins, but I guess that is certainly an option. Personally, I'd also check out clang, which presumably can provide you with a much more C++-like representation of the parsed source code.
