(OT) Hierarchical State Machines

[Helmut Giese]

Hello out there,
what would be a good news group to talk about Hierarchical State
Machines?
Any idea will be greatly appreciated.

http://wiki.tcl.tk/8363 has:

proc statemachine states {
array set S $states
proc goto label {
uplevel 1 set this $label
return -code continue
}
set this [lindex $states 0]
while 1 {eval $S($this)}
rename goto {}
}

The [goto] command is global, but as long as you use distinct state
labels, it should work.. In 8.5, one could use states directly as a
dict, but even in this version, S is local.

Are you more worried about hardware, or software?

comp.lang.vhdl is likely to offer firmly held opinions,
albeit not very software-friendly ones.

I assume you want to talk about implementing them?

If so, have you checked out what is in TclLib (grammar::fa)?

Also I recall announcements, the last of which was about a year ago, of an
FSA package on c.l.t.

Thanks for your feedback. Looks like I might (try to) talk about it
right here :)
I started a new thread.
Best regards
