摘要
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.
