So it's what, the thing we normally call "closure"? --Ledrug 09:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

No, because a closure cannot be handled independently from the code, e.g. stored in a variable and activated at some other time with a piece of code.--Abu 09:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Concerning the question whether the C solution "fits the spirit": I would say yes, though instead of switching the pointers to 'sec' and 'cnt' I would save and restore the actual values. This would better simulate the "binding" of the "environments".--Abu 15:17, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
