You need to change

           return (A(n + 1,0), 0);

to

(Toggle Plain Text)

           return n + 1;

Otherwise there is no way out of the function without calling itself again.
Also note that you don't return anything if m or n is less than 0, you should at least return some value, or throw an exception.
