The tail call is just a jump to that address       (changes the program counter). A coroutine jump also has to change the       stack pointer. See the section "Knuth's coroutines" here:              https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/coroutines.html              Some Forths have a CO primitive that I think is similar. There is       something like it on the Greenarrays processor.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
