78407b99ed6dd17f687fcbfb0486ecc433302287 [clang-tidy] Enable the misc-no-recursion check (dergoegge) Pull request description: Recursion is a frequent source of stack overflow bugs. Secondly, introduction of recursion can be non-obvious. This PR proposes to use the clang-tidy `misc-no-recursion` check to make introduction of new recursion obvious. We don't make use of recursion a lot in our code base but there are a few places that need suppressions anyway (mostly the descriptor and univalue/rpc code).

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt
(GUI) orbin/bitcoind
(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
