NestedCall.zip
It will create a NestedCall subdirectory in FunctionCalls.
NestedCall is an intermediate test between SimpleFunction and FibonacciElement
in complexity. It may be useful when SimpleFunction passes but FibonacciElement fails or crashes.
NestedCall also tests several requirements of the Function Calling Protocol that are not verified by any
of the supplied tests.
Nested call can be used with or without the VM bootstrap code.
The NestedCall.tst script sets up the stack to simulate the bootstrap's call
to Sys.init() and runs the program. If the bootstrap is not present, the
program begins running with Sys.init() since it is the first function in
Sys.vm.
If the program starts with the bootstrap, the bootstrap will initialize the
stack and call Sys.init(), so the test should see the same environment either
way it gets to Sys.init().
Additional details are in NestedCall.html in the archive.
