trust me I've seen stuff like this. If you restrict your gotos to
structures isomorphic to structured programs then they aren't too hard
to analyse. But they *do* need to be analysed and this is why a goto-
ful program is harder than a goto-less program (everything else being
equal!)

I don't know how you can be sure the two programs are equivalent.
Which is my point.

#i don't know if they are equivalent because functions has to be defined

trust twelve page functions don't squish down onto one page no matter
how many statements you put on a line. The great advantage of gotos is
taht you dispense with the indentation. Hence enabling you to compress
the code even more.

#20 page of function for me are very rare
#99% function are long < my screen

loop1: if (!finished) goto end
do_first_stuff();
if (reloop())goto loop1;
loop2: do_second_stuff();
if (sudden_death()) goto end;
do_third_stuff()
goto loop1;
end: skip_many_pages();
if (reprocess_event()) goto loop2;

################################
loop1: if(finished) goto end;
       do_first_stuff();
       if (reloop())goto loop1;

loop2: do_second_stuff();
       if(sudden_death()) goto end;
       do_third_stuff()
       goto loop1;

end:   skip_many_pages();
       if(reprocess_event()) goto loop2;
/*
 this mean nothing;
 i would argue that first of "goto loop2" event just above:
 "finished" has to be set to "0"
 reloop() has to be reinezializated as the start of loop1
 sudden_death() has to be reinezializated as the start of loop1
 but it is only how i image can be
 because if is not so, i would rewrite the loop2 so

loop1: if(finished) goto here;
       do_first_stuff();
       if (reloop())goto loop1;
loop2: do_second_stuff();
       if(sudden_death()) goto here;
       do_third_stuff()
       goto loop1;

Loop2: do_second_stuff();
       if(sudden_death()) goto end;
       do_third_stuff()
here:  skip_many_pages();
       if(reprocess_event()) goto Loop2;
end:
