Hi,


If I have local objects that require finalization (i.e., calling some
kind of destructor function), is it still reasonable to optimize tail
recursion? If so, what is a good approach?


For example, the destructor for object 'B' should be called at some
point


function: f( object A)
{
        object B; // default constructor invoked
        ...
        return f( B ); // tail recursion
}
