oxc/only-used-in-recursion Correctness
What it does
Checks for arguments that are only used in recursion with no side-effects.
Inspired by https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#/only_used_in_recursion
Why is this bad?
Supplying an argument that is only used in recursive calls is likely a mistake.
It increase cognitive complexity and may impact performance.

function f(a: number, b: number): number {
if (a == 0) {
return 1;
} else {
return f(a - 1, b + 1);
}
