I have a model that works as expected when I compile everything as a monolithic build. But when I pull a piece of the model out as a library, it does not function correctly. When I make it a static library, it works, though I get name collisions when I try to use it with a different framework. When I make it a dll, it works, but the state machine doesn't actually process events. Or at least, it doesn't seem to process the first null transition. I call startBehavior manually. That executes the initial root state, but it does not follow the null transition. I suspect that a thread that is normally supposed to process the event queue is not started. No errors (compile, link, or runtime) occur. It just doesn't do any of my state transitions. Any ideas?

Hi bitblit,

I don't get what you're actually trying to do... And what do you mean by "different framework"?

Regarding your statechart problem: statecharts only work when the OXF is running. So you have to start the oxf somehow by calling first OXF::initialize() and then OXF::start(). This will start (as far as I know) two threads: one for the main event processing (necessary for all non-active statecharts) and a timer thread (for generating timer events).

Can the second thread (the Timer thread) be turned off/prevented from starting?
If you use statecharts but never use timeouts (tm()'s), is this possible?
