ats代码有几十万行之多，与请求流程相关的代码主要集中在HttpSM.cc中。文件中包含了三个重要的函数：HttpSM::handle_api_return和HttpSM::set_next_state和HttpSM::call_transact_and_set_next_state，前面两个函数配合实现了状态机的运转，第三个函数是大多数状态要做的事情，并且间接决定了下一个state是什么。

HttpSM::handle_api_return函数是状态机的入口，是一个巨大的switch，每个case是一个state，大多数state最终都会执行到HttpSM::call_transact_and_set_next_state。

这个函数就像其名字一样，做了两件事请：call和set_next_state，call了一个请求在相应state下的处理函数。分两种可能，如果这个函数带了一个参数，参数就是一个函数，就执行这个函数，如果没有带参数，就执行在其他地方设置好的函数。call操作执行的函数一般最后会执行TRANSACT_RETURN函数，这个函数有两个参数，第一个参数是一个state，被赋值于HttpSM::next_action，用于HttpSM::set_next_state中的switch判断，第二个参数是一个函数，被用于下一个state执行是call的函数，也就是说下一次HttpSM::call_transact_and_set_next_state函数的时候如果没有带参数，就会执行上个state的TRANSACT_RETURN函数中第二个参数指向的函数。

根据处理函数的执行情况来执行set_next_state函数，set_next_state函数决定下一个state是什么，可能会直接执行下一个state的HttpSM::call_transact_and_set_next_state也可能回到HttpSM::handle_api_return。

请求第一次进入到HttpSM::handle_api_return时的堆栈信息如下：
