This wasn't exactly how I imagined it - I thought we'd change the generator so that ‘return -1’ wouldn't stop the state machine, but would save an error indication, keep running the machine until it blocks, then return an error.
However this is fine, so ACK. If I was going to improve this patch in some way (and didn't implement the idea above) then: I'd add a new macro for entering the DEAD state, setting the error, and returning the right code all in one statement. On the basis that it removes the scope for programmer error. This would require a small change to the generator so the new macro is recognized as working like SET_NEXT_STATE; and probably a second change to the generator to prevent ordinary SET_NEXT_STATE from jumping to the DEAD state, to force everyone to use the new macro in this case.
