My feeling is that do{}while() is a fairly useless concept...

The most frequent use I have for do while is to hack it to
construct break-able blocks actually ^^ :
//----
do
{
if(!condition1) break;
if(!condition2) break;
if(!condition3) break;
if(!condition4) break;
//DO SOMETHING
}while(false);
//----
It is a nice way to avoid the dreaded
"if(if(if(if(if(if())))))))" triangle.
