[ragel-users] Actions embedded into unexpected transitions?

[Adrian Thurston]

You must not have tried the 'easy' solution I gave. Run it and then look up the operator precedence rules in the manual.

Also note, these are expressions that are evaluated into one machine and not rules in the usual sense.

It still is. The problem in the behaviour of mentioned machine:

%%{ 
  machine foo; 
 
  a = 'a'+;
  b = a 'b'+;
  main := b+; 
}%%

- Logically.
Rule `b' contains rule `a', and no other rule contains `a'. Thus, you
only can enter `a' from `b', thus `enter a' action should always be
executed after `enter b'.

- In practice
Rule a is entered
Rule a is left
Rule b is entered
Rule b is left

That seem illogical to me.
