During standardization discussions on Modula‐2 the question was raised whether the future standard should need a clause stating a set of minimal requirements for conforming implementations regarding the ‘structuredness’ of lexical, syntactical and run‐time constructs in programs written in this language. It was decided to test a number of compilers to find their actual limits on the structuredness of some of these constructs. The test results do not only show these limits, but the inability of some compilers to handle large and complex inputs is shown as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
