I just committed a tentative fix into the trunk:
- completion events are only tried if the previous transition was
successful. This should prevent the overflow and some border cases.
- calling fsm.process_completion() will retry the completion event if
the guard returned false. The event is sent only once for every call
of process_completion()
- the completion events are, standard conforming, tried before the event queues
If it works and we all agree this is the right solution, I will keep it.
Thanks,
Christophe
