It’s somewhat unclear, but in this case Guido is responding directly to a particular - broken - attempt to add TCO to self-tail calls to CPython in the fashion described. I assume, having not read the linked article, that the author must have done that as a quick hack - because CPython’s bytecode must allow arbitrary jumping within a function body but doesn’t have the means to express a true tail call. I guess. He goes on, later in the post, to describe how he’d go about adding tail calls - although this treatment is also confused. |
