Hi all,
In the source code, written in D, is often used in the design
of the `for (;;) { ... }`
Maybe someone has specific examples of translation of code in
asm, where `while (true) { ... }` or `for (;;) { ... }` affect
the performance or cross-platform programs.
It would be interesting to see samples.
As you can see [1] the `while (true)` is lowered into `for
(;true;)` so it's all about what construct pleases you the most.
