As far as I can see, the single entry/single exit paradigm assumes that there is a simple flow of control, through the code as you can see it. So far, nobody has made any comment on "abnormal" flow of control, such as interrupts, multi-threading, and what might be more interesting in these news groups, exceptions. Any comments?
