Hi,

I have no idea.

In fact I have no idea what your code does in the first place. And that's
your very problem; C programmers don't get Algol-like code by definition,
so please design a language with more curly brackets before you Ada people
crosspost Ada advocacy to comp.lang.c again.

This is nothing personal. It's just that I don't think a thread about the
pros and cons of Ada crossposted to cl.c and cl.c++ was such a good idea.
