[boost] Inter-FSM protocol discussion

2003-06-08 Thread Chris Russell
Hi Andreas, I've taken the liberty of starting a new thread to talk about these inter-FSM protocol issues as they don't related directly to your current FSM lib submission. For the benefit of people cruising the archives at a later date, this conversation derives from this exchange:

[boost] [BGL] problem w/DFS visitor concept - DFS vs. DFV?

2003-06-06 Thread Chris Russell
Hello, I've got a struct derived from boost::default_dfs_visitor that I've been using w/out any problems in an invocation of boost::depth_first_search. The call that works looks like: boost::depth_first_search(g, boost::visitor(MyDfsVisitor)); ^- NP. compiles and executes fine. Now I'm trying to

[boost] Some questions on the FSM submission

2003-06-04 Thread Chris Russell
I read through the documentation but haven't tried coding against the library yet. It looks quite useful for building isolated FSM mechanisms. I observe in my own work that I typically have many FSM that interact with each other. It could be argued that this is really just one large FSM, but I

2003-06-04 Thread Chris Russell
The terminology tutorial is excellent. Thanks - that's helpful. So my question should have been: Has any thought been given to the protocol(s) necessary to use the FSM library for building systems (by Scott's definition). DOT That was a little bit of tongue in cheek. Not entirely a serious

I'm delighted to hear that you want to use the library in a real-world project but I must also warn you: You'd be the first to do so! It's been argued by many Venture Capitalists that there's absolutely nothing real world about my project. But I digress ;-) Intel should be quite conformant

For what it's worth, I've had great success using James Clark's expat to populate directed graphs abstracted by a BGL adjacency list. I'm too busy to document and submit to the sandbox at the moment but that should give anyone interested enough information to go do it. Parenthetically, I've found

Kudos to Kwee H. Tan for a great BGL article in this month's CUJ! Make sure to read it and let it sink in... There are far-reaching implications IMHO if you read between the line a bit. - Regards Chris ___ Unsubscribe other changes:
