Hi Christophe, In case a class is derived from the msm::back::state_machine class and used with the favor_compile_time policy I get the following error: *No member function 'process_any_event' declared* Please consider the following code snippets to get more details: *// MasterStateMachine.hpp* struct Master_: mgp_state_machine_def<Master_> { // ... } *class MasterStateMachine : public msm::back::state_machine<Master_, msm::back::favor_compile_time>{ public: MasterStateMachine () { // some stufff }; } *// MasterStateMachine.cpp* #include "MasterStateMachine.hpp" BOOST_MSM_BACK_GENERATE_PROCESS_EVENT(MasterStateMachine) Why does the compiler complains although the class MasterStateMachine inherits the "process_any_event" method from the *msm::back::state_machine<Master_, msm::back::favor_compile_time>* back-end? The point of matter is the *BOOST_MSM_BACK_GENERATE_PROCESS_EVENT(MasterStateMachine)* macro. In case it is uncomment, everythin works fine, but unfortunately without the support of the favor_compile_time policy. Background: I need to derive the class *MasterStateMachine * from the the mentioned back-end as singleton semantic has to be added to the *MasterStateMachine * class. *Not using* the favor_compile_policy is not a option! I have already tried to overload the *process_any_event* method in the derived "MasterStateMachine" class to comply with the compilers needs: class MasterStateMachine : public msm::back::state_machine<Master_, msm::back::favor_compile_time>{ private: static MasterStateMachine *m_Instance; // Constructor to avoid instantiation from the outside MasterStateMachine() {}; // Constructor to avoid copy-constructing MasterStateMachine(const MasterStateMachine&) {} // Constructor to avoid assignation MasterStateMachine& operator = (const MasterStateMachine&) { return *this; } ~MasterStateMachine() {}; public: static MasterStateMachine* getInstance(); static void release(); msm::back::HandledEnum process_any_event(const boost::any & evt) { return this->process_any_event(evt); } };* Unfortunately the error remains! Does anybody ;) have a clue? Thanks in advanced! Regards, Rafael -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-MSM-No-member-function-process-any-...
