I have just posted a 34Kbyte ANSI C file to comp.lang.scheme.c which shows
a novel way to implement tail recursion and garbage collection in C. This
program, called "CBOYER", is a hand-compiled version of the Lisp Boyer
Benchmark in a continuation-passing style of C. Due to its novel use of
the stack, it may make an interesting benchmark to compare hardware
architectures.


I would be interested in any measurement results and feedback.


Thanks.
