            Bug ID: 178390
           Summary: Support recursive tail call optimization for
                    polymorphic calls
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: rmorisset at apple.com
        Depends on: 176601

There is currently code in DFGByteCodeParser.cpp::handleInlining(...) that turns a polymorphic call into a switch on the value of the callee, with fast paths for each frequently called callee. This enables the calls to be inlined, but currently if one is a recursive tail call it cannot be optimized as in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176601. This is an unnecessary restriction.
