Descrizione

Based on this HIC++ guideline.

The stack explodes much faster using recursion than a huge BFS work queue would explode the heap. Therefore, if clippy detects some direct or indirect recursion that does not benefit from tail call optimisation, clippy should issue a warning along with a short description about why this is potentially bad and a short hint on how to transform recursive algorithms to iterative ones (e.g. using a work queue and BFS). And maybe a tl;dr about what tail calls are and how to make the algorithm tail recursive.
