I have a strong rule against writing
functions more than about 60 lines long.  For the problem of
writing an acceptably quick flood-fill algorithm, I think it would
at the very least be a lot of work to write code to do that while
still observing a limit on function length of even 100 lines, let
alone 60.

So why not break it down to smaller pieces ?

The better algorithms I have done are long and also make liberal
use of goto's.  Maybe it isn't impossible to break one or more
of these algorithms into smaller pieces, but C doesn't make it
easy.
