        <pre>Consider this common pattern:

class Frame {
  Frame* FindFrame(uint32_t id) {
    return const_cast<Frame*>(const_cast<const Frame*>(this))->FindFrame(id);
  }
  const Frame* FindFrame(uint32_t id) const;
};


The parens in the inlined functions are off, it needs to be:

    return const_cast<Frame*>(const_cast<const Frame*>(this)->FindFrame(id));

cl.exe finds this:

e:\b\build\slave\win_x64_gn\build\src\mandoline\tab\frame.h(58) : warning
C4717: 'mandoline::Frame::FindFrame' : recursive on all control paths, function
will cause runtime stack overflow


clang doesn't. It should.</pre>
