Altera_ForumDo you explicitly mean states, or logic?
State machines are encoded using one of several methods. Grey code, one hot and counter. By default it will encode 1 hot. Minimization can occur during synthesis- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- Do you explicitly mean states, or logic? State machines are encoded using one of several methods.

Assuming you mean states that cannot be entered, it might depend on the encoding scheme as to whether they are removed or not. The syntheses will remove any redundant logic.
