Hello,

I am experimenting with a CPS compiler which generates C code,
therefore I need some help to find out how to compile
tail-recursive C programs with GCC. This means that, if I have
a function

 foo { ... bar (args ...) ... }

and I don't want the call to bar to return, how do I tell
GCC to generate code sequence for a jump and transfer args ...
in registers.  In general, bar is not necessarily the same
as foo.
      
The GCC manual says that tail-recursion is recongnized early on
in the compiler, but I don't know how extensively GCC performs
tail-recursion optimization.  I also wonder if there is some kind
of annotation that can force GCC to compile a tail call whenever
I want to.

Thanks!
