(...) Um, not exactly. Structured programming is about taking a high level problem, breaking it down into logically related modules (using as much reuse as possible) and then breaking those modules down as well, and so on. It's about being cognizent (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Don't know about C/C++, but IIRC in Java the garbage collector destroys objects not when they are out of scope, nor when their creator function exits. It destroys them when the object is no longer referenced by any threads. That is to say, if (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

As a computer science software engineer i work since 1984. My university studies before (Hamburg, Germany) taught me, that science had proved: any program using a goto statement can easily be transformed into a structured program. Remember, that (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) *snicker* I'm surprised you used C as one of your example languages, then. Anyway, not all of us are so lucky as to be able to choose a language where you can hide all your cleanup code like that. As a personal issue, I find such cleanup (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
