Hi, I am using Boost 1.47.0, and wrote a state machine in MSM with 2 parallel regions. In each region, one state has a flag defined. According to the documentation, when I ask the flag the following way: sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_AND>() then it returns true if both regions are in a state with the flag. However, it doesn't work for me.

I have attached an example of this problem. It has the states Stopped1, Started1 and Stopped2, Started2 for the two regions respectively. The states Started1 and Started2 has the flag FlagStarted attached. The flag is checked after each call of process_event. The output of the program is the following:

Entering Stopped1 Entering Stopped2 (sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_OR>()): no (sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_AND>()): no Leaving Stopped1 Entering Started1 (sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_OR>()): yes (sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_AND>()): no Leaving Stopped2 Entering Started2 (sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_OR>()): yes (sm.is_flag_active<FlagStarted, StateMachine::Flag_AND>()): no

After the second transition, we are in state (Started1, Started2). The flag should be active here, but it isn't. Is there a problem with MSM, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, it's clearly a bug. I just fixed it in the trunk (rev. 74244). Thanks for the report, Christophe
