[ragel-users] Figuring out/referring to FSM states (cs values) outside of action{} blox

[Rashid Karimov]

Adrian,

thank you for prompt response, I understand it now :)

In my case, there's a subset of states that I want to act on, outside of
action code, without driving through the FSM code proper. Will follow
your advice and expose that subset via non-ragel state variable and act
on that !

TY

Rashid
