f# - When executed will this be a tail call? -


once compiled , ran behave tail call?

let rec f accu = function    | [] -> accu    | h::t -> (h + accu) |> f <| t

maybe there easy way test behavior i'm not aware of, might question.

i think easier see if not use pipelining operator. in fact, 2 pipelining operators defined inline, compiler simplify code following (and think version more readable , simpler understand, write this):

let rec f accu = function    | [] -> accu    | h::t -> f (h + accu) t

now, can read definition of tail-call on wikipedia, says:

a tail call subroutine call happens inside procedure final action; may produce return value returned calling procedure.

so yes, call f on last line tail-call.

if wanted analyze original expression (h + accu) |> f <| t (without knowing pipelining operators inlined), becomes ((h + accu) |> f) <| t. means expression calls <| operator 2 arguments , returns result - call <| tail call.

the <| operator defined this:

let (<|) f = f

now, call f inside pipelining operator tail-call (and other pipelining operator).

in summary, if compiler did not inlining, have sequence of 3 tail-calls (compiled using .net .tail instruction make sure .net performs tail-call). however, since compiler performs inlining, see have recursive tail-call (f calling f) , can more efficiently compiled loop. (but calls across multiple functions or operators cannot use loops easily.)

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua...
