This system variable applies only to the SDL scripts for C and C++ Generator.
The sysSMGStateMachines system variable (a global list) is used only when generating state machines. When generating state machines, ACS creates virtual model items, such as attributes and operations, to implement the state diagrams. ACS then generates code using real and virtual model items.
The sysSMGStateMachines system variable lists virtual state diagrams and their virtual items that are created to implement State Diagrams. The structure and properties of the virtual model items are the same as real model items, except that the type of a virtual model item is prefixed with SMG. Use the sysStates system variable to interrogate the virtual states on a virtual state diagram.
