A leaf subroutine is a subroutine which cannot in turn call another subroutine. Some compilers can apply special program optimizations to leaf subroutines...

In computer programming, a function (also procedure, method, subroutine, routine, or subprogram) is a callable unit of software logic that has a well-defined...

general-purpose register, allows for faster calls to leaf subroutines. When the subroutine is non-leaf, passing the return address in a register can still...

tail call is a subroutine call performed as the final action of a procedure. If the target of a tail is the same subroutine, the subroutine is said to be...

visualized in an exploded-view drawing Subroutine calls used to identify which subroutines in a program call other subroutines non recursively Inheritance of...

calling convention is an implementation-level (low-level) scheme for how subroutines or functions receive parameters from their caller and how they return...

push 1 call callee ; call subroutine 'callee' add esp, 12 ; remove call arguments from frame add eax, 5 ; modify subroutine result ; (eax is the return...

counting and some type checking can be done using Perl's "prototypes"). Subroutine arguments passed in are aliased into the elements of the array @_. If...

are good candidates to fuse with jalr, addi, loads or stores. RISC-V's subroutine call jal (jump and link) places its return address in a register. This...

compiler with an integrated command shell, where the user interacts via subroutines called words. Words can be defined, tested, redefined, and debugged without...

uses two subroutines, heapify and siftDown. The former is the common in-place heap construction routine, while the latter is a common subroutine for implementing...

additional advantage (compared to row- or column-major ordering) that the subroutine for multiplying two blocks does not need to know the total size of the...

\Re _{v}} and ℜ w {\displaystyle \Re _{w}} . Expose(S): Is called as a subroutine for implementing most of the queries on a top tree. S contains at most...

{1}{2^{f(|x|)}}}.} Define a machine A′ as follows: on input x, A′ runs A as a subroutine, and rejects if A would reject; otherwise, if A would accept, A′ flips...

but that no longer "smells". For a long routine, one or more smaller subroutines can be extracted; or for duplicate routines, the duplication can be removed...

usage, especially when linked list is short. Below are two versions of a subroutine (implemented in the C programming language) for looking up a given search...

where a procedure name resolves directly, or one dimensionally, onto a subroutine, and also to subject oriented programming, where the sender or subject...

eigenvector and access to the gate. The algorithm is frequently used as a subroutine in other algorithms. Shor's algorithm solves the discrete logarithm problem...

depth-first search. Short-circuiting on a tree corresponds to considering a leaf (non-empty node with no children) as the base case, rather than considering...

graphs in general: flow graphs can be nested, which is the equivalent of a subroutine call (although there is no notion of passing parameters), and flow graphs...

they were first invented for, as mentioned above). They are invoked as subroutines in algorithms for other problems, including the Christofides algorithm...

names to files. Some programming languages organize their variables and subroutines in namespaces. Computer networks and distributed systems assign names...

as the median of a three-element subsample; this is commonly used as a subroutine in the quicksort sorting algorithm, which uses an estimate of its input's...

If a polynomial time algorithm calls polynomial time algorithms as subroutines, the resulting algorithm is still polynomial time. BQP contains P and...

constructing Π′, simply replaces each read and write instructions with subroutines Oread and Owrite and keeps the rest of the program the same. It may be...

and link register) instructions. The function prologue of a (non-leaf) MIPS subroutine pushes the return address (in $ra) to the stack. On both O32 and...

graph model, where an algorithm has access to the graph only through a subroutine for testing the adjacency of vertices. In this application, a graph property...
