From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
tail recursion n. If you aren't sick of it already, see {tail recursion}. | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
tail recursion does is to call itself. Such a function is called tail recursive. A function may make several recursive calls but a call is only tail-recursive if the caller returns immediately after it. E.g. f n = if n < 2 then 1 else f (f (n-2) + 1) Here the both calls to fib are {recursive} but only the outer one is tail recursive. See {tail recursion optimisation}, and, if you aren't sick of them already, {recursion}, {tail recursion}. [{Jargon File}] (1996-02-22) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
tail recursion modulo cons introduced by D.H.D. Warren. It applies when the last thing a function does is to apply a constructor functions (e.g. cons) to an application of a non-primitive function. This is transformed into a tail call to the function which is also passed a pointer to where its result should be written. E.g. f [] = [] f (x:xs) = 1 : f xs is transformed into (pseudo {C}/{Haskell}): f [] = [] f l = f' l allocate_cons f' [] p = { *p = nil; return *p } f' (x:xs) p = { cell = allocate_cons; *p = cell; cell.head = 1; return f' xs &cell.tail } where allocate_cons returns the address of a new cons cell, *p is the location pointed to by p and &c is the address of c. [D.H.D. Warren, DAI Research Report 141, University of Edinburgh 1980]. (1995-03-06) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
tail recursion optimisation (TRO) When the last thing a function or procedure does is to call itself, it is not necessary to retain the calling environment. This is important when a procedure calls itself {recursive}ly many times for, without tail recursion optimisation, the environments of earlier invocations would fill up the memory only to be discarded when (if) the last call terminated. Tail recursion optimisation is a special case of {last call optimisation} but it allows the further optimisation that some arguments may be passed in situ, possibly in {register}s. It allows recursive functions to be compiled into {iterative} loops. See also {conversion to iteration}, {tail recursion modulo cons}. | |
