Detailed Description

Description: QMsm (QM State Machine) provides a more efficient state machine implementation strategy than QHsm, but requires the use of the QM modeling tool, but are the fastest and need the least run-time support (the smallest event-processor taking up the least code space).

Note: QMsm is not intended to be instantiated directly, but rather serves as the base class for derivation of state machines in the application code.

Usage: The following example illustrates how to derive a state machine class from QMsm. Please note that the QMsm member 'super' is defined as the first member of the derived struct.
class Calc : public QP::QMsm { // inherits QP::QMsm

private:

double m_operand;

char m_display[DISP_WIDTH + 1];

std::uint8_t m_len;

std::uint8_t m_opKey;

public:

Calc() // constructor

: QMsm(&initial)) { // superclass' constructor

}

protected:

// NOTE: QMsm state machine code is not intended for manual

// coding but rather needs to be generated automatically by

// the QM modeling tool

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QMsm()

QMsm ( QStateHandler const initial )

explicitprotectednoexcept

Description: Performs the first step of initialization by assigning the initial pseudostate to the currently active state of the state machine.

Parameters

[in] initial the top-most initial transition for the MSM.

Note: The constructor is protected to prevent direct instantiating of the QP::QMsm objects. This class is intended for subclassing only.

See also: The QP::QMsm example illustrates how to use the QMsm constructor in the constructor initializer list of the derived state machines.

Definition at line 74 of file qep_msm.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ init() [1/2]

void init	(	void const *const	e,
		std::uint_fast8_t const	qs_id
	)

overridevirtual

Description: Executes the top-most initial transition in a MSM.

Parameters

[in]	e	pointer to an extra parameter (might be nullptr)
[in]	qs_id	QS-id of this state machine (for QS local filter)

Attention: QP::QMsm::init() must be called exactly once before QP::QMsm::dispatch()

Precondition: the top-most initial transition must be initialized, and the initial transition must not be taken yet.

Reimplemented from QHsm.

Definition at line 92 of file qep_msm.cpp.

◆ init() [2/2]

void init ( std::uint_fast8_t const qs_id )

overridevirtual

Description: Executes the top-most initial transition in a MSM (overloaded).

Parameters

[in] qs_id QS-id of this state machine (for QS local filter)

Attention: QP::QMsm::init() must be called exactly once before QP::QMsm::dispatch()

Reimplemented from QHsm.

Definition at line 139 of file qep_msm.cpp.

◆ dispatch()

void dispatch	(	QEvt const *const	e,
		std::uint_fast8_t const	qs_id
	)

overridevirtual

Description: Dispatches an event for processing to a meta state machine (MSM). The processing of an event represents one run-to-completion (RTC) step.

Parameters

[in]	e	pointer to the event to be dispatched to the MSM
[in]	qs_id	QS-id of this state machine (for QS local filter)

Note: Must be called after QP::QMsm::init().

Precondition: current state must be initialized

Reimplemented from QHsm.

Definition at line 154 of file qep_msm.cpp.

◆ isInState()

bool isInState ( QMState const *const st ) const

noexcept

Description: Tests if a state machine derived from QMsm is-in a given state.

Note: For a MSM, to "be-in" a state means also to "be-in" a superstate of of the state.

Parameters

[in] st pointer to the QMState object that corresponds to the tested state.

Returns: 'true' if the MSM is in the st and 'false' otherwise

◆ childStateObj()

QMState const * childStateObj ( QMState const *const parent ) const

noexcept

Description: Finds the child state of the given parent, such that this child state is an ancestor of the currently active state. The main purpose of this function is to support shallow history transitions in state machines derived from QMsm.

Parameters

[in] parent pointer to the state-handler object

Returns: the child of a given parent state, which is an ancestor of the currently active state. For the corner case when the currently active state is the given parent state, function returns the parent state.

Postcondition: the child must be found
