Abstract
Optimizations are provided for sibling calls. A sibling caller is marked to indicate that it may call a sibling routine or that it may call an external sibling routine. Based on the marking, certain processing is performed to facilitate use of sibling calls, particularly when the sibling routine being called is external to the caller.
Claims10
A computer-implemented method of facilitating processing in a computing environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining whether a caller is calling a routine that potentially calls one or more sibling routines;
- checking, based on determining the caller is calling the routine that potentially calls one or more sibling routines, whether a sibling routine being called by the routine is an external sibling routine, the external sibling routine being in a different module than the routine;
- and
- performing an action to provide context information to be used in the sibling routine returning to the caller, the performing the action to provide the context information being based on the checking indicating the sibling routine is an external sibling routine.
