[ragel-users] Overfrequent/premature call of 'on-exit-transition' action

[Bernie Pallek]

<cid:part1.03050701.01060104 at brytech.com>Hello,

We are working on a parser for data blocks, and we've encountered some 
confusion. An action is being taken more frequently than expected (or 
prematurely). We've attached a few files that should be helpful (in 
addition to the original Ragel script). The PNG has been painted on to 
show where the unexpected action (circled in red) is expected to appear 
on the graph (end of red arrow).

If file attachments get scrubbed (if they are disallowed, I apologize), 
please let me know, and I'll figure out how to convey the info another way.

Just to be clear, we are trying to parse a block of data that is 
composed of a small header which contains 'n', followed by 'n' number of 
16-bit words, *then* we want the rogue action ("processCompleteMessage") 
to be taken; instead, it is taken after each 16-bit word is collected.

Thanks for any input.

Best regards,

- bernie
