Tail call optimisation in F# ?

• saosebastiao 12y ago
  Wait...mono doesn't do tail call optimization with f#???

    It is (or was) complicated, you could stack overflow on two mutually recursive functions or tail calling inside continuations.

      I'm getting constant memory on this (mono v3.12.1) let rec beep x = if x = 0 then x else boop (x - 1) and boop y = if y = 0 then y else beep (y - 1) let main argv = printfn "%A" (beep 999999999) 0

        Those are mutually recursive functions, but they're not using continuations.
