Memento Mori. I want to simply declare that the iMatix state machine generator (Libero) and cross-platform library(ies) (SMT/SFL) saved my project/company from certain destruction in 1996. And I never had the opportunity to thank you/him/them for that. I'm a C guy, so admittedly old-fashioned, but I still use that FSM generator language more than twice/year. FSMs rock (I came from circuits) and this is the best busin…

My pleasure. Libero and SFL were my first open source projects and I'm glad they were useful.

Is libero still available anywhere? All the links I'm finding are stale, leading to 404s.

[edit] Found it.

https://github.com/imatix/openamq in the "./tooling/base1" dir of the historic openamq distribution.

"Why, only on the edge of dying, people suddenly becomes "philosophical" and aware of their life and surroundings?" In death, clarity comes from limited options.

Everyone has limited options, because everyone prone to the death, isn't it?

"Everyone has limited options"

Time-wise, no.

Ha! Thanks! I saw a mirror of this from a university but all the final links to sources were broken. I was curious enough I resorted to gopher to track down archaic links... the only thing I ended up with was a copy of linux-1.0.tar.bz2.

[ update ]

Oops -- these end-points are dead too :) Back to the scavenger hunt.

q: Is there a logical successor to libero? A few of my searches took me to references to GSL...

Yes, GSL is the successor. It's a living project on github. It is relatively easy to generate state machines in GSL, e.g. https://github.com/CodeJockey/glar150/blob/master/src/fsm_c..... This GSL script builds a FSM that uses switch statements; the code isn't as compact as Libero produces yet it works nicely.
