SYMBOL/CHECKAL does not compile

Open pkimpel opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Compile errors on source file SYMBOL/CHECKAL, related to MONITORing of labels (it would be good to run CHECKAL, if we assume that it was a well-debugged and reliable diagnostic test...)

Known problem with CHECKAL and the unpatched version of the Mark XIII ALGOL compiler. Need to test this under the patched compiler and under TSMCP. Paul Cumberworth generated a patch that bypasses the problem but does not fix it. Need to release that patch to the community.

By "bypasses the problem" Paul means that the tests all run and verify (at least the tests that have a verification procedure, which does not include the procedure with the MONITOR statements (which is a tangled nest of GO TO statements) ) correctly, so that this result is a favorable test of the emulation and Algol compiler.
