SMC - The State Machine Compiler v. 3.1.0


Requires: Java 1.4.1 SE (Standard Edition) or better.
Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smc
Home Page: http://smc.sourceforge.net


=================================================================
What's New?
=================================================================

+ SMC now generates C# code using the -csharp command line
option. The generated C# code was tested against Microsoft
DevStudio 7.0.

This is a beta feature. Use accordingly.

Thanks to (name withheld upon request) for providing the C#
code generator, library classes and examples.

+ (VB.net and C#) Added "property = value" action to SMC syntax.
This supports the .net property assignment syntax.

+ Added guards to Default transitions. However, Default
transitions still may not have parameters.

+ Added "-verbose" option which causes SMC to output messages as
it compiles.

+ Added "-d directory" option which tells SMC where to place
generated files. Default is the same directory as the .sm file.


=================================================================
Bug fixes
=================================================================

+ (-c++) Corrected error with TRACE macro in statemap.h.

+ Corrected error when compiling a .sm file which resides in
a another directory. This caused incorrect code to be generated
particularly for C++.

+ Corrected error when SMC threw a ParseException which was
reported as an SMC error. A ParseException is not an SMC error
but an unrecoverable error in the user's FSM code. A
ParseException is now reported as such.


=================================================================
What is SMC?
=================================================================

SMC takes a state machine description (stored in a .sm file) and
generates State pattern classes in a target language (C++, Java,
Tcl, VB.Net and C# are currently supported). SMC is a
console-based app written in Java which means SMC can run
anywhere Java (1.4.1 or better) can run. The download package
includes an example directory showing how SMC can used with C++,
Java, Tcl (requires [incr Tcl] package), VB.Net and C#. The
examples range from trivial to GUI apps.


=================================================================
