Re: gcc/icc

That one stared me right in the face, didn't it? It just never occured to me as beeing an recursive loop.

I think heavy function calling is what occur in most Pike programs.

If it is recursing on one function or just say five-ten levels of function calling doesn't matter that much for the measure, I think. (Recall many backtraces that has less then say four levels?)

If anything, the iteration *without* function calls is a less common construct in Pike. Almost all those are on the C levels.

You should note that many common operations in expressions also yield function calls, for instance `+ on mappings and array creation.
