Abstract

The control structures of Simula 67 are described in terms of their effects on a branching stack of class, procedure and block activation records. The description is intended as an aid to understanding the capabilities of Simula 67 and the structure of a Simula 67 virtual machine implementation. Storage allocation for this implementation is also discussed.
