Is it possible to have a recursive inline function ?

Inline is just a request to the compiler to treat the call to a function like a macro and substitute it rather than treating it as a function and making a call. This request may or may not be considered by a compiler where in the second case it treats it as a normal function rather than inline. So even though you do try to make a recursive function inline the compiler will ignore it and consider it as a normal function and work in the normal fashion to execute it.
P.S Doing this is definitely not a good coding practice.

Good Luck~

I would say that compilers would probably never inline a recursive function.

Yaa Right

Although you can call an inline function from within itself, the compiler will not generate inline code since the compiler cannot determine the depth of recursion at compile time.

Yessssss it's possible
