[Boost-users] [MSM] What happens to MSM if guard returns `false`, mutable events and error recovery?

Hi *, I am currently reading through the MSM docs and have one question, what happens to MSM if guard returns `false`. Does the MSM enter an error state in orthogonal region (http://www.boost.org/doc/ libs/1_64_0/libs/msm/doc/HTML/ch03s02.html#d0e577)? Even internals page describes, what happens if guard returns `true`, but not a single word on `false` case. Regarding the const events: I am programming an MSM to proxy network traffic and once a message with data was received it'll be analysed and moved between different states. Message instances implement move semantics. Currently, the MSM has an initial state `ready` where the `message_in` event is handled. This event contains the message to be analysed. From my current understanding I either have to make message field in `message_in` event mutable or MSM needs to to support r-value references. Can somebody tell me what's going to happen if the action only accepts r-value reference to an event instance? Currently, it seems to work, but would like to understand the implications. struct some_action_impl { template void operator()(Event&& ev, Fsm& fsm, SourceState& source, TargetState& target) { ... } } My last question relates to multi-threading. I understand that MSM manages internal states, would it be safe to create MSM as a thread-local storage and restart the thread-local MSM if the new request comes in? It's more about, what happens to MSM after an error state? Is calling stop(), start() members enough? Many thanks for help, Ovanes
