Hi Deniz,

it turns out my answer was incorrect, or at least incomplete. If you have no 
submachine, then there might be a way around.
If you write: p.process_event(pause); where pause is an eUML event, true, it 
cannot work.
However, this works:
any_number_event evpause(pause);
p.process_event(evpause);

I don't know if it helps you, it might not fit your use case.

It doesn't work for submachines at the moment, but as I'm at it, I'll have a 
look ;-)

OTOH, if compile-time is a problem, mybe the full eUML is not the right 
solution for you, you might want to try writing only the table with eUML, it 
compiles already faster, or use the functor front-end, which compiles much 
faster.

HTH,
Christophe
