Hi guys, I am working on some code for automatically translating recursive functions into looping functions to implemented tail-recursion optimisations. See https://github.com/mailund/tailr As a toy-example, consider the factorial function factorial <- function(n, acc = 1) { if (n <= 1) acc else factorial(n - 1, acc * n) } I can automatically translate this into the loop-version

Following up on this attempt of implementing the tail-recursion optimisation ? now that I?ve finally had the chance to look at it again ? I find that non-local return implemented with callCC doesn?t actually incur much overhead once I do it more sensibly. I haven?t found a good way to handle parallel assignments that isn?t vastly slower than simply introducing extra variables, so I am going with

Dear Thomas, This looks like a really interesting project, and I don't think that anyone responded to your message, though I may be mistaken. I took at a look at implementing parallel assignment, and came up with: passign <- function(..., envir=parent.frame()){ exprs <- list(...) vars <- names(exprs) exprs <- lapply(exprs, FUN=eval, envir=envir) for (i in

Interestingly, the <<- operator is also a lot faster than using a namespace explicitly, and only slightly slower than using <- with local variables, see below. But, surely, both must at some point insert values in a given environment ? either the local one, for <-, or an enclosing one, for <<- ? so I guess I am asking if there is a more low-level assignment operation I can get my
