No, unfortunately not. There has been a Google Summer Of Code 2006 project that
attempted to convert Boost.Statechart statemachines into an UML statechart
diagram. It works only for flat statemachines, does not support most of the UML
elements and the output is kind of ugly. Also, to my knowledge, it has never
been run anywhere else than on Linux. There has been no development since GSoC
ended.
At one point I wanted to continue development, but did not mainly because I was
unable to find suitable and widely portable components, that would solve the
following problems for me:
- parsing C++ (we looked at GCC_XML, but it didn't go through a release cycle
in years)
- drawing statechart elements (we looked at graphviz, but found it to have some
surprising shortcomings)
