Hi Chiem,

>(that's a lot of ifs!), the code will not compile. It aborts with the mysterious error:

<snip>

Try:

BOOST_MSM_EUML_ACTION(someAction)
{
   template <class Event,class FSM,class STATE>
   void operator()(Event const& event,FSM& , STATE& state)
   {
      state.get_attribute(borrowedBuffer_attribute)=1;

   }
 };

MSM_A_player is a state machine, but used inside MSM_B_player, it is a substate, right? Therefore, in its entry, it is represented by the STATE parameter, not FSM.

HTH,
