FSM Library Documentation

The OMAC Finite State Machine (FSM) library is a free, with source-code, object-oriented Visual C++ class library for use in coding states, events, actions, transitions, and conditions necessary in programming and executing finite state machine behavior. The FSM library supports a litany of options to easily accommodate a broad variety of control logic needs. The FSM under this Web site is distributed as a zipped file. FSM code within the files is under the FSMRelease/src/fsmlibnew while

Features:

• Object oriented representation of finite state machines
• Mealy or Moore state machines
• Smart pointer handling of state, event and transition references. No memory leaks even though references are cross-linked.
• Hierarchical states
• Priority-based event-queuing (optional), head of event-queue insertion, and variable event handling per FSM update
• Condition-based state transitions
• Entry and Exit state actions
• Multiple state actions per transition
• Default activity when no events have occurred.
• Synchronous and asynchronous event-handling
