I’m backing up in the alphabet after adding an article on BAKR, Branch and Stack. The details can be complicated – see the Principles of Operation entry! This write-up ignores some of the ugly details. I will write a more comprehensive version later. If anyone has experience comparing the efficiency of linkage methods using BAKR and standard linkage methods, I would like to hear from you. For many applications, this would not be an issue. This article will give you enough information to dip your toe in the water. Read about BAKR here.
