[jvm-l] Re: Tail calls again?

[Arnold Schwaighofer]

Hi everybody,

the latest version of the patches i have are against vanilla openjdk
b59 (not mlvm). As far as I remember the patches would not cleanly
apply to the mlvm branch at that time.

I build and tested on linux x86-32 (tail calls on x86-64 are not implemented).

Note that using the invokedynamic stuff together with this patch is
not tested and very likely will not work.

Sadly, I currently can not devote much time to working on it.
