State machine generator

This tool is used to describe a state machine in dot format (used by Graphviz). It then generates the corresponding C++ code with identified callbacks.

Usage

• Create a Python3 virtualenv with pydot installed
• Create a dot file with the state machine named "state_machine.gv"
• Run 'make png' to see the PNG representation
• Run 'make cpp' to generate the C++ code

C++ code

The tool will generate 3 files:

• 'state_machine.h' and 'state_machine.cpp' that contain the skeleton of the state machine
• 'state_impl.cpp' that contains the empty callbacks

You can compile these sources with a simple main like the one provided.
