Debunking the 'Expensive Procedural Call' Myth or Procedure Call Implementations Considered Harmful or Lambda: The Ultimate GOTO.

Author:	Guy Lewis Jr Steele; MASSACHUSETTS INST OF TECH CAMBRIDGE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LAB.
Publisher:	Ft. Belvoir Defense Technical Information Center OCT 1977.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Folklore states that GOTO statements are cheap, while procedure calls are 'expensive'. This myth is largely a result of poorly designed language implementations. The historical growth of this myth is considered. Both theoretical ideas and an existing implementation are discussed which debunk this myth. It is shown that the unrestricted use of procedure calls permits great stylistic freedom. In particular, any flowchart can be written as a structured program without introducing extra variables. The difficulty with the GOTO statement and the procedure call is characterized as a conflict between abstract programming concepts and concrete language constructs. (Author).  Read more...
