I want to implement the following diagram (link state diagram) using C in linux.

give some ideas I mean program flow with a small example.. I surfed in the net for the c programs for stae transition table.. But i dint found

You mean, write your coursework for you? No, that's for you to understand and complete yourself. Your tutor / lecturer should have provided you with information about mutex locks and such, and this is a really great project to see some object orientated things going on too, so ideal for a C++ proof of concept. We are not here to do your work for you though.

Try Googling "Finite State Machine"

Hi acid,


basically Im electronics student. while Im reading about statemachines I decided to write state machine program . it was not assigned by any lecturer to me. anyway thanks for suggesting c++.

and thanks to jdines also.

OK, fair enough. I actually nearly chose to implement this for my thesis project, but didn't in the end. A mini adventure there. Exciting.

Anyway, it'd be interesting to do something as theoretical as this in code, as you'd be able to seperately implement a number of seperate building blocks into a simple solution especially when you can asynchronously link a number of objects together to pass data between them without any intervention. C++ wouldn't be essential, if I were to start this tomorrow I'd look to do some object orientated python. You'd presumably start off with a base class for an object which is able to connected to other instances, as a producer or a consumer with a fifo buffering all inbound data. (giver and taker would work, but poncy language is more fun). Then inherit (or whatever the right word is for it) that base object into a simple 1 in one out module and then expand from then on to the additional functionality.

Think that this is the correct link: Wikipedia State Diagram

There are several different state diagram examples in the reference that you gave above. Which one are you trying to implement?
