133,methodtailcall broken,kjs,whiteknight,"{{{
methodtailcalls are broken. The next example shows this.
the call to foo() fails, whereas the semantic equivalent call to bar() is ok. foo() returns with a method tailcall, bar() returns with a normal return statement.


.sub main
    say ""ok 1""
    $P0 = foo() ## fails :-(
    $P0 = bar() ## ok.
    say ""ok 2""
    $I0 = $P0
    say ""ok 3""
    say $I0
    say ""ok 4""
.end

.sub foo
    .local pmc p
    p = new ""Class""
    .tailcall p.""attributes""()
.end


.sub bar
    .local pmc  p
    p = new ""Class""
    $P0 = p.""attributes""()
    .return ($P0)
.end
}}}
