Thread: state machine using function pointers

Hi,
I would like to use function pointers to code a state machine.
That is if I have the following events possible in 2 states S1, S2

S1: E1, E2
S2: E3, E4

and I have processing functions for all possible events for all states, and corresponding function pointers

fpS1E1, fpS1E2, fpS2E3, fpS2E4, corresponding to the processing of a particular event in a particular state.


Now if I define a function pointer two dimensional array like

Code:

void  *fpArray[][]() =  { {fpS1E1,fpS1E2}, {fpS2E3,fpS2E4}};

and if 
#define S1 0
#define S2 1
#Define E1 0
#define E2 1,

state = S1;
while (1)
{
     eventid = receive_event();
     fpArray[state][eventid]; 
}

where typically inside function 
fpS1E1() { ...
                  state = S2 (any new state)
               }

the state machine will function right? Or is there any problem in my logic/code?
I have omitted function pointer initialisations( fpS1E1 = s1e1function and the like)
