Go up one level in this thread


 Any reasonable one should. But since C/C++ have serious holes in their type
systems amongst other shorcomings it is usually in a limited form. There have
been proposals of a special tail_call form.
 Earlier GCC (old 2.x branch) only performed it at the the front end. And only
with an explicit return. Mutual recursion was also a hindrance.
 As an aside I believe that the MS C# doesn't do tail call optimizations.
