API ID: IsRecursive
Languages: Any
Targets: Functions

Return 0, 1, or 2 for not recursive, directly recursive, or indirectly recursive

This is a batch metric. The first time it is called, it will scan the entire project to find all recursive functions. Future calls read from a cache.

This is a simple version of the metric that follows all calls, including virtual calls, and does not follow function pointers. It most closely matches the Hersteller Initiative Software (HIS) configuration's check for recursion. For a more detailed recursion metric, use IsRecursiveUsePtr. For a non-batch recursion metric, use MinRecursiveDepth.

Used for Hersteller Initiative Software (HIS) AP_CG_CYCLE metric.
