Reducing stack space consumption via head-call optimization

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide a method for reducing stack space consumption via a head-call optimization. When compiling the source code of a computer application, a compiler application may be configured to analyze program flow to identify a head-call within any functions included in the program source code. Once identified, the head-call may be removed during program compilation. Doing so may reduce the number of elements pushed onto a program's stack space during program execution.
