            Bug ID: 374765
           Summary: microbe in some cases remains stuck in an infinite
                    loop
           Product: KTechLab
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: zoltan.pad...@gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

microbe (the program that generates assembly code from flowcode) remains stuck
in an infinite loop for
some flowcharts.
Because microbe is quite self-contained, fixing it should be a good
task for new contributors.

Based on my initial investigation, the optimizer inside microbe gets stuck: it
has a loop, in which it tries to further optimized the code/program as long as
it changes something. However, it never reaches a "final" state of the
code/program, and it always finds something to change, thus remains stuck in an
infinite loop. 
I have not investigated the issue further.

If anybody feels like looking into this, please write to the ktechlab-devel
mailinglist.
