% File: ml_tailcall.m
% Main author: fjh

% This module is an MLDS-to-MLDS transformation
% that marks function calls as tail calls whenever
% it is safe to do so, based on the assumptions described below.

% A function call can safely be marked as a tail call if
%	(1) it occurs in a position which would fall through into the
%	    end of the function body or to a `return' statement,
% and
%	(2) the lvalues in which the return value(s) from the `call'
%	    will be placed are the same as the value(s) returned
%	    by the `return', and these lvalues are all local variables.
% and
%	(3) the function's local variables do not need to be live
%	    for that call.
%
% For (2), we just assume (rather than checking) that 
% any variables returned by the `return' statement are
% local variables.  This assumption is true for the MLDS code
% generated by ml_code_gen.m.
%
% For (3), we assume that the addresses of local variables
% and nested functions are only ever passed down to other functions
% (and used to assign to the local variable or to call the nested
% function), so that here we only need to check if the potential
% tail call uses such addresses, not whether such addresses were
% taken in earlier calls.  That is, if the addresses
% of locals were taken in earlier calls from the same function,
% we assume that these addresses will not be saved (on the heap,
% or in global variables, etc.) and used after those earlier calls
% have returned.  This assumption is true for the MLDS code generated
% by ml_code_gen.m.
