Welcome to the Lounge

• break - goto the end of a switch or terminate the closest enclosing iteration statement
  
• continue - start a new iteration of the closest enclosing iteration statement
  
• return - exit the function in which it appears and return to the caller

To me, the SM table is not the result delivered by a generator - it is a modeling tool for the human developer. The driver is typically a score code statements, independent of the model (a.k.a. transition table). I certainly agree that an editor tailored to transition table editing is a great thing to have. I have tried to maintain a compile time initialized C++ array for a transition table, using Np++. Even for trivial SMs, that is almost impossible (unless you just copy the table from e.g. a standard document and it will be carved in stone).

If I were given the responsibility for a state machine implementation like that, I would immediately run to my boss asking for permission to rewrite the whole thing as a table driven machine.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

// Fn ptrs defs
typedef  void (*RT)( int input );
typedef  RT (*TER)( int input );

// Forward declarations
extern TER state1( int input );
extern TER state2( int input );
extern TER state3( int input );

// First state
TER state1( int input )
{
    printf( "one\t" );
    return input < 10 ? (TER)&state2 : (TER)NULL;
}

// Second state
TER state2( int input )
{
	printf( "two\t" );
	return (TER)&state3;
}

// Third state
TER state3( int input )
{
    printf( "three\t" );
    return (TER)&state1;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int n;

    // Set Start state
    TER state = (TER)&state1;

    // Exercises the state machine. Ends when state == NULL
    for ( n = 0 ; state ; ++n ) {
        // Executes the current state (state variable) then goes to the next state
        state = (TER)( state( n ) );
    }

    printf( "\n\nPress any key\n" );
    getch();
