The Boost Statechart Library

Acknowledgments

Very special thanks go to:

Aleksey Gurtovoy, the developer of the ingenious meta programming library (boost::mpl). The interface as well as the implementation of Boost.Statechart hugely benefit from Alekseys work. I would have given up long ago without mpl. Moreover, Aleksey's double dispatch implementation in his FSM framework gave me fresh ideas after I had come to the conclusion that my dynamic_cast-based solution was too bad

Special thanks go to:

Mitsuo Fukasawa, who is the first person using Boost.Statechart in a real-world project. He gave invaluable feedback, convinced me to make history a top priority, translated the tutorial to Japanese and tested new releases on Linux
Peter Petrov, who contributed various standard conformance fixes, commented on early redesigns of the asynchronous_state_machine and fifo_scheduler class templates and reviewed the documentation
Peter Dimov and Douglas Gregor for developing other libraries (bind, intrusive_ptr, atomic_count, function) Boost.Statechart is building on
Pavel Vozenilek for making many suggestions on how to improve code & documentation, providing Intel 7.0 workarounds and managing the review
the countless folks who worked and are still working on the boost infrastructure (config, regression tests, build, html templates, etc). Writing Boost.Statechart would have been much less fun without this foundation
David Abrahams and Darryl Green for being persistent enough to convince me that the exit action to state destructor mapping is sometimes not a good idea
Paul A Bristow, Keith Burton, Jeff Garland, Simon Gittins, Dave Gomboc, Darryl Green, Jody Hagins, Iain K. Hanson, David B. Held, Mick Hollins, Alexander Nasonov, Peter Petrov, Augustus Saunders, John Spalding, Rob Steward, Jonathan Turkanis and Matthew Vogt for participating in the review
Joaquín M López Muñoz for his broken allocator workaround in boost/detail/allocator_utilities.hpp
