I have a composite machine, and I want to dispatch an event to the parent.
It works when using process(ev_success{}) in the transition table of the sub machine, but it does not work when I send this event from an action in the sub machine (I can work around this by dispatching ev_success_internal from one action of the sub machine to trigger a dummy state, from which I can process(ev_success{}) to the parent).
What works: : see example_working.cpp (the first file) in the same gist (this is the workaround I use; ideally, I'd to just dispatch ev_success from this action, and have it behave like if it had been done by process() in the transition table).
