in thread Syntactic sugar for tail call optimizations

This thread is about implementating tail call recursions, thanks for trolling with a graph-search recursion which isn't tail code.

Oh, sorry. I thought you'd know that every recursive algorithm can be made into a tail-recursive one(*).

So you see there is no trolling and no polemic; just an example, as you requested, that you don't know how to handle.

And, BTW, one disproves your flimsily expounded theory.

* All you need to do is implement the CPS transform.

    Well - believe it or not - I knew. But your undocumented cut&paste doesn't worth it.

    This thread is about syntactic alternatives to goto &sub for implementing tail-call patterns and not about your inquisitional tactics to sabotage threads you consider heretical.

    So I better resort in not feeding the BUK!

    And now you have the last word ... :)

    Cheers Rolf

      Hm. I assumed you'd remember from the last time we dicussed this.

      You bottled out of supporting your own pretensions that time also.

      Next?

      sabotage threads you consider heretical.

      I don't consider the thread OP heretical, just a bad conclusion drawn on the basis of poor examples.
