in a famous French langage dictionnary there was once upon a time a perfect
circular reference
étourneau (see) sansonnet
sansonnet (see) étourneau
such a circular reference is a deadlock in semantic, with one meaning depending
from the other and recursively from itself
it causes compilation failure
an endless loop is for sure different, where at least the semantic is clear
repeat { nothing } until false;
it causes execution hang
regards,
Etienne.
P.S. both étourneau and sansonnet are indeed the same thing (a bird) , as one
can check : http://translate.google.com/?#en|fr|starling
