For those who specialize in emitting platform-dependent native machine code translated from macrobytecode to MIR to LIR, following paper outlines the pitfalls of tailcall: https://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~mikepo/papers/devil.ndss15.pdf https://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~mikepo/papers/devil.ndss15.p... Speaking in Firefox-ese, within its JavaScript engine, IonMonkey taking JavaScript bytecode down to Mid-level Intermediate Representation (MIR), then OdinMonkey (TraceMonkey) translates to Low-level Intermediate Representation (LIR), then for WarpMonkey (NanoJIT) to translate into native machine code. OdinMonkey and WarpMonkey should not be handling tailcalls.
