g++ and tail recursion

We have been studying tail recursion in my computer class. The prof
told us that some compilers will turn a tail recursion into an
iteration thus allowing many, many function calls to the recursion. I
have proved to myself that the two flavors of VC++ I have will do this
but I cannot get the GNU G++ compiler to do so. It is run in unix on
a sun sparc and is version 3.3.2. It's threading is POSIX. Is there
a switch which will compile a tail recursion on g++ as an iteration?

Proper tail recursion
by: Christopher T King | last post by:
Is it feasable, and/or desirable to have Python optimize tail-recursive calls, similar to Scheme and gcc -O2? i.e. effectively compile this: def foo(n): return foo(n-1) into this: def foo(n): goto foo(n-1)

Tail Call Optimization as a Decorator
by: Crutcher | last post by:
This is fun :) {Note: I take no responsibilty for anyone who uses this in production code} #!/usr/bin/env python2.4 # This program shows off a python decorator # which implements tail call optimization. It # does this by throwing an exception if it is # it's own grandparent, and catching such # exceptions to recall the stack.

list of polynomial functions
by: Josiah Manson | last post by:
In the following program I am trying to learn how to use functional programming aspects of python, but the following program will crash, claiming that the recursion depth is too great. I am attempting to make a list of polynomial functions such that poly(3) = 1, poly(3) = 3, poly(3) = 9, etc. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. def make_polys(n): """Make a list of polynomial functions up to order n. """

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11
by: Hystou | last post by:
Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
