Parameters

source

The tree traversable for which the recursion will be prevented.

equalityComparer

The equality comparer to be used for comparing traversed nodes.

Type Parameters

T

The type of objects to traverse.

Return Value

If a node is to be returned that has already been traversed, it is still returned; only its children are not traversed again. The result thus allows reconstruction of the original tree, if so required.
