[erlang-questions] tail recursion

[Jason Dusek]

Hi All,

I have a server like this:

server({X, Y}) ->
  receive
    {update, NewState} ->
      server(NewState);
    {x, Client} ->
      Client ! X,
      server({X, Y});
    {y, Client} ->
      Client ! Y,
      server({X, Y});
  end
  .

Its tail recursive but, unfortunately, a little redundant -- I'd like
to rewrite it like this:

server({X, Y}) ->
  receive
    {update, NewState} ->
      server(NewState);
    {x, Client} ->
      Client ! X;
    {y, Client} ->
      Client ! Y;
  end,
  server({X, Y})
  .

But I worry that the compiler and interpreter will fail to recognize
my server as tail recursive. Will my rewrite blow the stack?
