  <b>Let's release a TCP connection!</b>
  <br />
</p>

<p align="center"><img src="doc/images/tcp_release.png" alt="tcp release"/></p>

### Quick start

#### Download
> [Boost::ext].SML requires only one file. Get the latest header [here!](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boost-ext/sml/master/include/boost/sml.hpp)

#### Include
```cpp
#include <boost/sml.hpp>
namespace sml = boost::sml;
```

#### Dependencies
```cpp
struct sender {
  template<class TMsg>
  constexpr void send(const TMsg& msg) { std::printf("send: %d\n", msg.id); }
};
```

#### Events
```cpp
struct ack { bool valid{}; };
struct fin { int id{}; bool valid{}; };
struct release {};
struct timeout {};
```

#### Guards
```cpp
constexpr auto is_valid = [](const auto& event) { return event.valid; };
```

#### Actions
```cpp
constexpr auto send_fin = [](sender& s) { s.send(fin{0}); };
constexpr auto send_ack = [](const auto& event, sender& s) { s.send(event); };
```

#### State Machine
```cpp
struct tcp_release {
  auto operator()() const {
    using namespace sml;
    /**
     * Initial state: *initial_state
     * Transition DSL: src_state + event [ guard ] / action = dst_state
     */
    return make_transition_table(
      *"established"_s + event<release>          / send_fin  = "fin wait 1"_s,
       "fin wait 1"_s  + event<ack> [ is_valid ]             = "fin wait 2"_s,
       "fin wait 2"_s  + event<fin> [ is_valid ] / send_ack  = "timed wait"_s,
       "timed wait"_s  + event<timeout>                      = X
    );
  }
};
```

#### Usage
```cpp
int main() {
  using namespace sml;

  sender s{};
  sm<tcp_release> sm{s}; // pass dependencies via ctor
  assert(sm.is("established"_s));

  sm.process_event(release{}); // complexity O(1)
  assert(sm.is("fin wait 1"_s));

  sm.process_event(ack{true}); // prints 'send: 0'
  assert(sm.is("fin wait 2"_s));

  sm.process_event(fin{42, true}); // prints 'send: 42'
  assert(sm.is("timed wait"_s));

  sm.process_event(timeout{});
  assert(sm.is(X));  // terminated
}
```

> MSVC-2015 ([Example](https://boost-ext.github.io/sml/examples/index.html#hello-world))

  * use `state<class state_name>` instead of `"state_name"_s`
  * expliclty state a lambda's result type `auto action = [] -> void {}`

#### Compile
* **GCC/Clang**
  ```sh
  $CXX -std=c++14 -O2 -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic tcp_release.cpp
  ```
* **MSVC**
  ```sh
  cl /std:c++14 /Ox /W3 tcp_release.cpp
  ```
