or
if (likely(!err)) { /* Do something */ }
I've found the definition of them:
#define likely(x) __builtin_expect((x),...

Run a bunch of tests and record the exact time, then see which is closer .
However, the best way to figure this out is to test it yourself .

If ocaml uses the stack for function calls, won't it eventually overflow the stack? For example...

Most code, which you're more likely to do in a functional language, you have to be aware of non-tail calls.
