it's not really intuitive, it took me a while to understand this:

#define SM_STEP(machine) \
static void sm_ ## machine ## _Step(struct eapol_state_machine *sm)
#define SM_STEP_RUN(machine) sm_ ## machine ## _Step(sm)

SM_STEP_RUN is expanded to sm_machine_Step() which is not directly defined
anywhere becouse it is expanded from another macro which is
SM_STEP(machine) used in the function definition.

you can use GCC to make just the preprocessing of the code, and it will be
clearer, or, if you want to surf the code in an easier way you could
generate the project documentation with doxygen which does preprocessing
if you whish.

ciao,
leonardo.
