in thread recursive loop and performace issue in find::file

Limbic~Region,

I agree that the phrase don't do this unless you know more is frustrating for some people.

According to my experience there are three steps when learning (not only programming languages!):

  1. learn (simple) rules
  2. learn the reason for each rule
  3. learn when to break a rule - and what risk is involved
Based on the code provided by the OP, I assumed that the adequate answer would be on step 1 ... and that further details would be more distracting than helpful. Creating an additional node with further information and excellent examples (as you did) is a very good improvement - especially for other readers which already possess more knowledge/insight. So I certainly don't mind your comments :-)

Have a nice day! Rata
