Subject: [Caml-list] Compiled code that uses the stack when it can.
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 11:21:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20D75025-C0A1-43A0-89BE-30AD5ED04545@cap-lore.com> (raw)

Is there a way to get ocamlopt to leave the C sources behind?
Does ocamlopt ever use the stack to call functions that it compiled?
Does anyone know of compilers that use the stack when they can but uses the heap when it must?
Is there literature on this?
This slide set is very useful but seems to suggest that internal functions representations are treated uniformly.

I am thinking about static code analysis to determine two or perhaps three ways free variables in a function might be handled.
It is hard enough that I would like to see if it has been done before.
