Recursion

The Recursion item in the Call Stack window shows the number of times a function has been called and has not yet returned. For example, when a function recursefunc calls itself and you step into recursefunc, the debugger adds a new recursefunc entry to the Call Stack window. The recursion count for the new entry is one greater than for the previous recursefunc entry.

Select Recursion from the Options->Display style dialog for the Call Stack window if you want a column showing recursion values to be displayed.
