Detailed Description

Implements a finite state machine.

StateModel is an abstract class that provides the structure and mechanics of a basic finite state machine.

The state model implementation used is a very basic approach. The model uses numeric constants to identify events and states, and maintains dictionaries of defined events and states. Event and state definitions include a text label for logging purposes. Additionally, each state definition includes a state handler. State handlers are methods which implement the actions that need to occur when the model is "in" a given state. The implementation provides methods to add entries to and verify the contents of both dictionaries.

During model execution, the following context is tracked:

current state - The current state of the model
previous state - The state the model was in prior to the current state
next event - The next event to be consumed
last event - The event most recently consumed

When invoked, a state handler determines what it should do based upon the next event including what the next state and event should be. In other words the state transition knowledge is distributed among the state handlers rather than encapsulated in some form of state transition table.

Events "posted" from within the state handlers are "internally" triggered events. Events "posted" from outside the state model, such as through the invocation of a callback are "externally" triggered.

StateModel defines two states:

NEW_ST - State that a model is in following instantiation. It remains in this state until model execution has begun.
END_ST - State that a model is in once it has reached its conclusion.

and the following events:

START_EVT - Event used to start model execution.
NOP_EVT - Event used to signify that the model stop and wait for an external event, such as the completion of an asynchronous IO operation.
END_EVT - Event used to trigger a normal conclusion of the model. This means only that the model was traversed from start to finish, without any model violations (i.e. invalid state, event, or transition) or uncaught exceptions.
FAIL_EVT - Event to trigger an abnormal conclusion of the model. This event is posted internally when model execution fails due to a model violation or uncaught exception. It signifies that the model has reached an inoperable condition.

Derivations add their own states and events appropriate for their state model. Note that NEW_ST and END_ST do not support handlers. No work can be done (events consumed) prior to starting the model nor can work be done once the model has ended.

Model execution consists of iteratively invoking the state handler indicated by the current state which should consume the next event. As the handlers post events and/or change the state, the model is traversed. The loop stops whenever the model cannot continue without an externally triggered event or when it has reached its final state. In the case of the former, the loop may be re-entered upon arrival of the external event.

This loop is implemented in the runModel method. This method accepts an event as argument which it "posts" as the next event. It then retrieves the handler for the current state from the handler map and invokes it. runModel repeats this process until either a NOP_EVT posts or the state changes to END_ST. In other words each invocation of runModel causes the model to be traversed from the current state until it must wait or ends.

Re-entering the "loop" upon the occurrence of an external event is done by invoking runModel with the appropriate event. As before, runModel will loop until either the NOP_EVT occurs or until the model reaches its end.

A StateModel (derivation) is in the NEW_ST when constructed and remains there until it has been "started". Starting the model is done by invoking the startModel method which accepts a state as a parameter. This parameter specifies the "start" state and it becomes the current state. The first task undertaken by startModel is to initialize and verify the the event and state dictionaries. The following virtual methods are provided for this:

defineEvents - define events
verifyEvents - verifies that the expected events are defined
defineStates - defines states
verifyStates - verifies that the expected states are defined

The concept behind the verify methods is to provide an initial sanity check of the dictionaries. This should help avoid using undefined event or state values accidentally.

These methods are intended to be implemented by each "layer" in a StateModel derivation hierarchy. This allows each layer to define additional events and states.

Once the dictionaries have been properly initialized, the startModel method invokes runModel with an event of START_EVT. From this point forward and until the model reaches the END_ST or fails, it is considered to be "running". If the model encounters a NOP_EVT then it is "running" and "waiting". If the model reaches END_ST with an END_EVT it is considered "done". If the model fails (END_ST with a FAILED_EVT) it is considered "done" and "failed". There are several boolean status methods which may be used to check these conditions. Once the model has been started, defining new events or new states is illegal. It is possible to call startModel only once.

To progress from one state to the another, state handlers invoke use the method, transition. This method accepts a state and an event as parameters. These values become the current state and the next event respectively. This has the effect of entering the given state having posted the given event. The postEvent method may be used to post a new event to the current state.

Bringing the model to a normal end is done by invoking the endModel method which transitions the model to END_ST with END_EVT. Bringing the model to an abnormal end is done via the abortModel method, which transitions the model to END_ST with FAILED_EVT.

The model can be paused in the selected states. The states in which the state model should pause (always or only once) are determined within the StateModel::defineStates method. The state handlers can check whether the state machine is paused or not by calling StateModel::isModelPaused and act accordingy. Typically, the state handler would simply post the NOP_EVT when it finds that the state model is paused. The model remains paused until StateModel::unpauseModel is called.

This method is used to construct the set of valid events. Each class within a StateModel derivation hierarchy uses this method to add any events it defines to the set. Each derivation's implementation must also call its superclass's implementation. This allows each class within the hierarchy to make contributions to the set of defined events. Implementations use the method, defineEvent(), to add event definitions. An example of the derivation's implementation follows:

void StateModelDerivation::defineEvents() {
    // Call the superclass implementation.
    StateModelDerivation::defineEvents();
 
    // Add the events defined by the derivation.
    defineEvent(SOME_CUSTOM_EVT_1, "CUSTOM_EVT_1");

protectedvirtual

Handler for fatal model execution errors.

This method is called when an unexpected error renders during model execution, such as a state handler throwing an exception. It provides derivations an opportunity to act accordingly by setting the appropriate status or taking other remedial action. This allows the model execution loop to remain exception safe. This default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

event the numeric event value to post as the next event.

Exceptions

◆ runModel()

void isc::util::StateModel::runModel ( unsigned int event )

virtual

Processes events through the state model.

This method implements the state model "execution loop". It uses the given event as the next event to process and begins invoking the state handler for the current state. As described above, the invoked state handler consumes the next event and then determines the next event and the current state as required to implement the business logic. The method continues to loop until the next event posted is NOP_EVT or the model ends.

Any exception thrown during the loop is caught, logged, and the model is aborted with a FAIL_EVT. The derivation's state model is expected to account for any possible errors so any that escape are treated as unrecoverable.

Note: This method is made virtual for the unit tests which require customizations allowing for more control over the state model execution.

Parameters

event is the next event to process

This method is guaranteed not to throw.

If the dictionaries aren't built bail out.

Sets up the model to transition into given state with a given event.

This updates the model's notion of the current state and the next event to process. State handlers use this method to move from one state to the next.

Parameters

state	the new value to assign to the current state.
event	the new value to assign to the next event.

Exceptions

StateModelError if the state is invalid.

Definition at line 264 of file state_model.cc.

◆ unpauseModel()

void isc::util::StateModel::unpauseModel ( )

Unpauses state model.

Definition at line 276 of file state_model.cc.

◆ verifyEvents()

void isc::util::StateModel::verifyEvents ( )

protectedvirtual

Validates the contents of the set of events.

This method is invoked immediately after the defineEvents method and is used to verify that all the required events are defined. If the event set is determined to be invalid this method should throw a StateModelError. As with the defineEvents method, each class within a StateModel derivation hierarchy must supply an implementation which calls its superclass's implementation as well as verifying any events added by the derivation. Validating an event is accomplished by simply attempting to fetch an event by its value from the event set. An example of the derivation's implementation follows:

void StateModelDerivation::verifyEvents() {
    // Call the superclass implementation.
    StateModelDerivation::verifyEvents();
 
    // Verify the events defined by the derivation.
    getEvent(SOME_CUSTOM_EVT_1, "CUSTOM_EVT_1");
    getEvent(SOME_CUSTOM_EVT_2, "CUSTOM_EVT_2");
    :
}

This method is called in a thread safe context from initDictionaries.
