Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Reporting on sucess/failure of tail recursion
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 16:28:21 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051203002821.44840.qmail@web30515.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
Particularly with respect to list operations,
"non-tail-recursive" usually implies stack space used
is O(n) to the length of the list, whereas "tail
recursive" implies O(1). I, for one, would love to
see these figures explicitly, instead.
