- Hello:
-
- I read in PRISC (Nikhil and Arvind) that they support
- tree of frame for function invocation.
- In a stack model it is much simpler to manage the stack of
- frames. For supporting tree of frames one has to
- allocate space from the heap. This could an expensive operation.
- Also how does one manage the run time heap.
- How does one compile programs to support tree of frames.
- In terms of storage space management, I find difficult to
- understand management of tree of frames (unlike
- in stack based model, which is simple to implement).
-
- Thanks a lot
