Unmaintainable because of the ability to write cryptic code. There's nothing cryptic about:

This works for one level, but imagine: ... code ... (which exits with goto_out) if (!alloc x) goto out; ... code ... (which exits with goto_outfreex) if (!alloc y) goto out_freex; ... code ... (which exits with goto_outfreey) if (!alloc z) goto out_freey; ... code ... free z; out_freey: free y; out_freex: free x; out: print bye; For this you'll need 3 nested do{}while(); loops and your indention is so far to the right, that you can barely write more than two more words on a line. This really looks a lot cleaner with goto. Jan
