- '''This module implements a Finite State Machine (FSM). In addition to state
- this FSM also maintains a user defined "memory". So this FSM can be used as a
- Push-down Automata (PDA) since a PDA is a FSM + memory.
-
- The following describes how the FSM works, but you will probably also need to
- see the example function to understand how the FSM is used in practice.
-
- You define an FSM by building tables of transitions. For a given input symbol
- the process() method uses these tables to decide what action to call and what
- the next state will be. The FSM has a table of transitions that associate:
-
- (input_symbol, current_state) --> (action, next_state)
-
- Where "action" is a function you define. The symbols and states can be any
- objects. You use the add_transition() and add_transition_list() methods to add
- to the transition table. The FSM also has a table of transitions that
- associate:
-
- (current_state) --> (action, next_state)
-
- You use the add_transition_any() method to add to this transition table. The
- FSM also has one default transition that is not associated with any specific
- input_symbol or state. You use the set_default_transition() method to set the
- default transition.
-
- When an action function is called it is passed a reference to the FSM. The
- action function may then access attributes of the FSM such as input_symbol,
- current_state, or "memory". The "memory" attribute can be any object that you
- want to pass along to the action functions. It is not used by the FSM itself.
- For parsing you would typically pass a list to be used as a stack.
-
- The processing sequence is as follows. The process() method is given an
- input_symbol to process. The FSM will search the table of transitions that
- associate:
-
- (input_symbol, current_state) --> (action, next_state)
-
- If the pair (input_symbol, current_state) is found then process() will call the
- associated action function and then set the current state to the next_state.
-
- If the FSM cannot find a match for (input_symbol, current_state) it will then
- search the table of transitions that associate:
-
- (current_state) --> (action, next_state)
-
- If the current_state is found then the process() method will call the
- associated action function and then set the current state to the next_state.
- Notice that this table lacks an input_symbol. It lets you define transitions
- for a current_state and ANY input_symbol. Hence, it is called the "any" table.
- Remember, it is always checked after first searching the table for a specific
- (input_symbol, current_state).
-
- For the case where the FSM did not match either of the previous two cases the
- FSM will try to use the default transition. If the default transition is
- defined then the process() method will call the associated action function and
- then set the current state to the next_state. This lets you define a default
- transition as a catch-all case. You can think of it as an exception handler.
- There can be only one default transition.
-
- Finally, if none of the previous cases are defined for an input_symbol and
- current_state then the FSM will raise an exception. This may be desirable, but
- you can always prevent this just by defining a default transition.
