mbedtls/tests/scripts/recursion.pl

#!/usr/bin/env perl

# Find functions making recursive calls to themselves.
# (Multiple recursion where a() calls b() which calls a() not covered.)
#
# When the recursion depth might depend on data controlled by the attacker in
# an unbounded way, those functions should use interation instead.
#
# Typical usage: scripts/recursion.pl library/*.c
