Hi Bakul, yes non local GOTOs. In the Algol68C compiler we wrote we used the names setmp
and longjmp
for the code generation routines to implement non local goto. So as you say they were not
partof
the Algol68 language.

Perhaps you’re talking about non-local GOTOs in

from a nested procedure to a label in a lexically enclosing procedure.
Pascal has this too.
So does PL/I.
