State Machine Code Generation in C++
21 Jun 2016Definition Language
Hi all. This time I write to explain the work done during these first three weeks. In principle, and after talking with my mentor, I began to study as defined a formal language. Finally after learning the steps to the definition I started building an example of this language. This would be contained in a file .smdsl, this language is a domain-specific language:
name_machine{
[states name_state *[, name_state];]
initial_state name_state;
[end_state name_state;]
[transition{
name_state=>name_state *[, name_state];
*[name_state=>name_state *[, name_state];]
};]
};
*[ :father_state [parallel]{
[states name_state *[, name_state];]
[initial_state name_state;]
[end_state name_state;]
[transition{
name_state=>name_state *[, name_state];
*[name_state=>name_state *[, name_state];]
};]
};]
[]→ optionality *→ Item List
Parser SMDSL file
I then created the parseSMDSL.py file that parses this code. This code creates and returns node tree with information from the state machine.
To parse the code I have taken into account several things.
Machine: * The machine must have a name. * The machine must have a mandatory initial state. * The initial state can not be on the list states. * The final state can not be on the list states. * The initial state can not be the same as the final state.
Substates: * Must have a parent state.
If it is parallel:
- Must have a list states.
- Mustn’t have initial state.
- Mustn’t have final state.
- Mustn’t have transitions.
If it isn’t parallel:
- Must have initial state.
- The initial state can not be on the list states.
- The final state can not be on the list states.
- The initial state can not be the same as the final state.
If any of these conditions is not met an error is displayed.
To include the file .smdsl I modified the file parsing parseCDSL.py to recognize a line as:
statemachine machine.smdsl;
Once the language has been created and has been parsed, I proceeded to the study of Qt State Machine Framework and the creation of code of the state machine in C ++.
Robocompcdsl used a templates files to generate code written in python. I modified the following:
- genericworker.h
- genericworker.cpp
- specificworker.h
- specificworker.cpp
Then I explain what is contained in each of these files:
- genericworker.h
Complete definition of the state machine: Maquina, states, final states, substates, parallel states.
It also contains the names of the functions executed when entering each state.
Finally it contains the signals used for transitions between states.
- genericworker.cpp
In this file transitions between states are created.
The states will be added to the machine and the initial and final states are assigned to the machine or substate.
the connect between the function of a state or the input signal of a state is created.
- specificworker.h
Executive functions of each state are declared.
- specificworker.cpp
Implementation of the functions executed by each of the states.
Example
- file.smdsl
Example statemachine.smdsl:
Machine_testcpp{
states test2, test3, test4, test5;
initial_state test1;
end_state test6;
transition{
test1 => test1, test2;
test2 => test3, test5, test6;
test3 => test3, test4;
test4 => test5;
test5 => test6;
};
};
:test1 parallel{
states test1sub1, test1sub2;
transition{
test1sub1 => test1sub1;
test1sub2 => test1sub2;
};
};
:test1sub2{
initial_state test1sub21;
end_state test1sub22;
transition{
test1sub21 => test1sub21,test1sub22;
};
};
:test3 parallel{
states test3sub1, test3sub2, test3sub3;
transition{
test3sub1 => test3sub1;
test3sub2 => test3sub2;
};
};
:test5{
states test5sub2;
initial_state test5sub1;
transition{
test5sub1 => test1sub2;
test1sub2 => test5sub1;
};
};
- genericworker.h
