- of a state machine, unless for debugging purposes, like the pstate function does
- in the tutorials in order to display the name of the current state. This section
- will show how to automatically display typeid-generated names, but these are not
- very readable on all platforms, so it can help to know how the ids are
- generated. The ids are generated using the transition table, from the “Start”
- column up to down, then from the “Next” column, up to down, as shown in the next
- image: </p><p><span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../images/AnnexA.jpg" width="90%"></span></p><p>Stopped will get id 0, Open id 1, ErrorMode id 6 and SleepMode (seen only in
- the “Next” column) id 7. If you have some implicitly created states, like
- transition-less initial states or states created using the explicit_creation
- typedef, these will be added as a source at the end of the transition table. If
- you have submachine states, a row will be added for them at the end of the
- table, after the automatically or explicitly created states, which can change
- their id. The next help you will need for debugging would be to call the
- current_state method of the state_machine class, then the display_type helper to
- generate a readable name from the id. If you do not want to go through the
- transition table to fill an array of names, the library provides another helper,
- fill_state_names, which, given an array of sufficient size (please see next
- section to know how many states are defined in the state machine), will fill it
- with typeid-generated names. </p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch06s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch06.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch06s04.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Frontend / Backend
