    //FIXME(#54444) rewrite this lint to use the dataflow framework

    // Walk through this function (say `f`) looking to see if
    // every possible path references itself, i.e., the function is
    // called recursively unconditionally. This is done by trying
    // to find a path from the entry node to the exit node that
    // *doesn't* call `f` by traversing from the entry while
    // pretending that calls of `f` are sinks (i.e., ignoring any
    // exit edges from them).
    //
    // NB. this has an edge case with non-returning statements,
    // like `loop {}` or `panic!()`: control flow never reaches
    // the exit node through these, so one can have a function
    // that never actually calls itself but is still picked up by
    // this lint:
    //
    //     fn f(cond: bool) {
    //         if !cond { panic!() } // could come from `assert!(cond)`
    //         f(false)
    //     }
    //
    // In general, functions of that form may be able to call
    // itself a finite number of times and then diverge. The lint
    // considers this to be an error for two reasons, (a) it is
    // easier to implement, and (b) it seems rare to actually want
    // to have behaviour like the above, rather than
    // e.g., accidentally recursing after an assert.
