Hi Richard,

While big improvements were made, there will always be a limit, especially with VC9. Did you try with VC10? It'd be interesting to know.

I will try this  for you when I will have a spare 10 minutes. I did use for some time VC10 in the past and I did not observe too much difference in the heap usage during compilation

Thanks. I personally didn't notice big improvements either :(

The public start has a limitation that I can't tell during runtime what event is triggering the start e.g I can't specify the initial event in runtime for the initial transitions.

I want to use start to cause the same behavior as an entry transaction causes on a composite state machine.

I just committed a new version into the trunk (70961) where you will find: - a stop() method - like for the initial event, you have the possibility to define your own event by adding a typedef inside the front-end: typedef my_final_event final_event; - a start and stop method with an event as parameter. I'm not sure it's a great idea as you have the typedef but we can give it a try. Please notice that this version calls on_entry so you shouldn't do it yourself.

I didn't update the doc yet, I'll do it for 1.47.
