C state-machine design [closed]

by

I am crafting a small project in mixed C and C++. I am building one small-ish state-machine at the heart of one of my worker thread.

I was wondering if you gurus on SO would share your state-machine design techniques.

NOTE: I am primarily after tried & tested implementation techniques.

UPDATED: Based on all the great input gathered on SO, I’ve settled on this architecture:

An event pump points to an event integrator which points to a dispatcher. The dispatcher points to 1 through n actions which point back to the event integrator. A transition table with wildcards points to the dispatcher.
