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. MvH Dan Andersson
