+ Recursive functions can easily cause stack overflows, which may result in exceptions or, in some cases, undefined behavior (typically some embedded systems). Although the Rust compiler supports `tail call optimization <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call>`_\ , this optimization is not guaranteed and depends on the specific implementation and function structure. There is an `open RFC to guarantee tail call optimization in the Rust compiler <https://github.com/phi-go/rfcs/blob/guaranteed-tco/text/0000-explicit-tail-calls.md>`_\ , but this feature has not yet been stabilized. Until tail call optimization is guaranteed and stabilized, developers should avoid using recursive functions to prevent potential stack overflows and ensure program reliability.
