I tried implementing Knuth's Man or Boy test in Modula-3, but I can't
get it to work.
I assumed the code I had wouldn't work (and I was right), but eventually
I fiddled enough and got it to compile, but now it just segfaults when run.
MODULE ManOrBoy EXPORTS Main;
IMPORT IO, Fmt;
PROCEDURE Zero(): INTEGER = BEGIN RETURN 0; END Zero;
PROCEDURE One(): INTEGER = BEGIN RETURN 1; END One;
PROCEDURE Neg(): INTEGER = BEGIN RETURN -1; END Neg;
PROCEDURE A(k:INTEGER; x1, x2, x3, x4, x5: INTEGER): INTEGER =
PROCEDURE B(): INTEGER =
BEGIN
DEC(k);
RETURN A(k, B(), x1, x2, x3, x4);
END B;
BEGIN
IF k <= 0 THEN
RETURN x4 + x5;
ELSE
RETURN B();
END;
END A;
BEGIN
IO.Put(Fmt.Int(A(10, One(), Neg(), Neg(), One(), Zero())) & "\n");
END ManOrBoy.
All I know is that it segfaults at procedure B.
