Peter Bex scripsit: > What is used instead of CPS nowadays?
The typical view is that it's more important to optimize normal calls and returns than calls to escape procedures, so a stack is used and then copied when call/cc is invoked. Chicken allocates stack frames on a first-generation heap, which means that you are paying to GC that heap, as well as the (nowadays small) space cost of retaining the C return addresses on the stack that are never used. > Does it give you "free" call/cc? In effect, Chicken call/cc is not free; its cost is amortized over all calls. However, that cost is paid even by programs that never use call/cc. (This is not a criticism of Chicken; if you want Gambit or Bigloo, you know where to find them.) -- "Well, I'm back." --Sam John Cowan <co...@ccil.org> _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
