state machine behaves differently in scala and c/c++

[vassik]

empty transition in c does not trigger shift to another state while it works for scala. The code bellow works for scala, but does not for c and cpp
....
state Started {
transition -> Stopped
}
state Stopped {
}
....

Yes, I think auto-transitions (typically useful after an initialisation state) should be kept in the language. Franck will thus fix the C compiler :-)

@acartero has developed an automatic test suite to assess the consistency of the different compilers. The Scala compiler will shortly be deprecated, replaced by the (plain) Java one. The C compiler has been improved (it now manage auto-transition) and the overall consistency between Java and C is almost perfect.
