Have you contacted the authors regarding the issues you are Sorry I might mislead you. I said the paper solution for irreducable graph is *not* simple *nor* efficient any more. The paper do suggest a way to do it. But I consider that way complex (in execution time sense). I haven't take a closer look at the code yet. > having with gotos? Might be worth doing so. My reading of the paper is yes. Having "goto" will interrupt that CFG less method. It can also lead to irreducible graph. Which means extra step to clean it up. That extra step is expensive in the O() terms.
