That's how we do it. Of course, we try to handle all this in the controllers, not in the model, so it propagates up to the controller from the model via a delegate or something and then we use the state machine there.

Does anyone have an idiom or way of appreciating this problem which does not produce such spaghetti and headaches?
How about a state machine:

enum State { STATE_INIT, STATE_PREPARE, STATE_EXECUTE, STATE_FINISHED, STATE_DEAD };

State state;

HandleEvent(event)
{
switch (state) {
case STATE_INIT:
// initialize here
state = STATE_PREPARE:
// fallthru
case STATE_PREPARE:
if (need_some_particular_state_first) { break; }
if (need_user_response) { ask_for_it(); break; }
state = STATE_EXECUTE;
// fallthru
case STATE_EXECUTE:
// do stuff
state = STATE_FINISHED; // so when display is dismissed we continue
display_results();
break;
case STATE_FINISHED:
// wrap up
state = STATE_DEAD;
// fallthru
case STATE_DEAD:
break;
default:
assert(0);
}
}
