  method mark_call : unit

  method mark_c_tailcall : unit
  (* informs the code emitter that the current function may call
     a C function that never returns; by default, does nothing.

     It is unecessary to save the stack pointer in this situation
     (which is the main purpose of tracking leaf functions) but some
     architectures still need to ensure that the stack is properly
     aligned when the C function is called. This is achieved by
