  89. <dd><p>You can use the &lsquo;<samp>.leafproc</samp>&rsquo; directive in conjunction with the
  90. optimized <code>callj</code> instruction to enable faster calls of leaf
  91. procedures. If a procedure is known to call no other procedures, you
  92. may define an entry point that skips procedure prolog code (and that does
  93. not depend on system-supplied saved context), and declare it as the
  94. <var>bal-lab</var> using &lsquo;<samp>.leafproc</samp>&rsquo;. If the procedure also has an
  95. entry point that goes through the normal prolog, you can specify that
  96. entry point as <var>call-lab</var>.
  97. </p>
  98. <p>A &lsquo;<samp>.leafproc</samp>&rsquo; declaration is meant for use in conjunction with the
  99. optimized call instruction &lsquo;<samp>callj</samp>&rsquo;; the directive records the data
  100. needed later to choose between converting the &lsquo;<samp>callj</samp>&rsquo; into a
  101. <code>bal</code> or a <code>call</code>.
  102. </p>
  103. <p><var>call-lab</var> is optional; if only one argument is present, or if the
  104. two arguments are identical, the single argument is assumed to be the
  105. <code>bal</code> entry point.
