Limits on Recursion?

[clevername27]

Does anyone know the limit on recursion for inline functions? Are there exceptions, or can an inline function never (ever) call itself?

Thanks!

recursion works. try at your own risk.

I believe it is also dependant on what parameters you pass, for a simple int it should not be that bad but passing down huge objects might cause it to give up sooner since in theory it consumes more memory.

inline function count(currentNumber)
{
    if(currentNumber <= 100)
    {
        Console.print("Count: " + currentNumber);
        count(currentNumber + 1); // Recursive call
    }
}

// Start the recursion with 1
count(1);

@oskarsh Thank you - that makes sense. This simplifies my code immensely.

I was thinking that a lot of recursion - like a recursive descent parser - would be too much. I know there are some error messages that HISE throws to protect against recursion (which is a good thing), but apparently doing it one layer deep is cool.
