Those two functions were flagged by GCC 12.3.0.
I'm guessing GCC 12 needs help here as it can't determine the loops are finite.
(as per: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109914 )
Though I'm not seeing this suggestion with GCC 13.2.1,
so perhaps GCC 12 can determine the loops are finite?
I'll apply this since GCC 13 is less that a year old,
but in general we try to avoid littering code like this.
