State functions

[Y-Less]

I don't think (from looking at the code, I've not tested this) that this code won't work with state functions like:

MyFunc() <my_state:a>
{
}

MyFunc() <my_state:b>
{
}

main()
{
    state my_state:b;
    MyFunc();
}

They are implemented as a call to a function stub near the start of the code block, which consists soley of a switch and jumps to individual complete functions. The stub has no PROC, but any CALLs will point to it, not to the separate implementations. I can provide better disassembly if you would like.

I like the idea though (does it detect its own recursion)?

Thank you!

I already knew about the problem but I don't know how to fix it.

(does it detect its own recursion)?

Yes.

[Y-Less]

Yeah, I'm not fully sure how to fix it, as even if you can detect the stub function (not hard), it then becomes like one CALL pointing to multiple functions and I don't know enough about your code to know how to deal with that.

Also, do you know about the tortoise and hare algorithm? Used for detecting cycles in linked lists (which perfectly describes recursion):

May help, may not...

I didn't even think about it. Thank you!
