[Sbcl-devel] Tail call elimination settings

[Richard M K. <kr...@pr...>]

Hi,

A casual reading of the manual [1],[2] might leave the reader believing
that tail call elimination is inhibited only when DEBUG is greater than
2.  It happens that (optimize (debug 2) (speed 1) (space 1)) also
inhibits TCE, due to INSERT-DEBUG-CATCH.  Is the manual insufficiently
comprehensive, or the INSERT-DEBUG-CATCH policy worth tweaking?

Thanks,
RmK
