#5253 closed Tasks (fixed)

provide a const version of 'get_state'

Description

The current implementation of 'get_state' doesn't compile when used on a const reference to a state machine. It would be nice to have a const version of 'get_state' (for people believing in 'const correctness' this is even an essential extension ;-) )

This ticket is opend as result of a discussion on the boost users list, subject "[Boost-users] [MSM] test if state machine is in a given state /const get_state" so i refer to this posting if further details are required.

Milestone: To Be Determined → Boost 1.47.0
Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed
Version: Boost 1.45.0 → Boost 1.47.0

Fixed in trunk (70832). Will be merged in 1.47. Following is now possible: 

void test(const player& p)
{
   const player_::Stopped& s1 = p.get_state<const player_::Stopped&>();
   s1.cfoo(); //const
   player_::Stopped& s2 = p.get_state<player_::Stopped&>();
   s2.foo(); // not const

   const player_::Stopped* sp1 = p.get_state<const player_::Stopped*>();
   sp1->cfoo(); //const
   player_::Stopped* sp2 = p.get_state<player_::Stopped*>();
   sp2->foo(); // not const
}
