Subject: Reporting on sucess/failure of tail recursion
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 20:09:57 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051202200957.2fb14d49.ocaml-erikd@mega-nerd.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Say I have a file containing a number if Ocaml functions.
We all know the advantages of tail recursive functions over non-tail
recursive ones and some of us know if a simple function is tail
recursice just by looking at it. However, for more complex functions
it would be really nice if there was a compiler mode that could print
which recursive functions in a file were tail recursive and which were
not.
Is there a way to do this? Does anyone else think this would be a useful
feature?
Cheers,
Erik
