Re: inside the GHC code generator

Hello,

SPJ> tail calls is another,

nowadays gcc optimize tail calls

I found this thesis on the subject by Andreas Bauer: "Compilation of Functional Programming Languages using GCC -- Tail Calls" Do you know if it is his work that was incorporated into GCC? I browsed trough some parts of the thesis, and he mentions GHC as one of the motivations for his work (the thesis also seems to be a nice tutorial on the internals of GCC). From this thread it seems that GHC cannot currently take advantage of his work. Is that correct? /Niklas
