In C++, "inline function" will not work if there is a Recursion, Right?

Question

1)I have an inline function with recursion, when i compiled it i am not seeing any Error/Warning for that why?
2)As far as i know its compiler dependent whether to copy inline function or not, but my question is how we will get to know whether compiler has added inline function or not?
3)In What stage of compilation Inline function will be copied?

Answer 1

Making a function "inline" is just a request to compiler, that request may be accepted or rejected by compiler based on the type of statements written within the function.
- Compiler rejects inline request for recursive function.
- Compiler replaces inline function with its body in pre-processing phase.
- Compiler doesn't generate errors since these steps are part of pre-processing
