Shaving off a few bytes

For those who think bytes are in high demand you can get an infinite loop doing for() which is a 3 bytes cheaper than while(1)!

for(i,i=0,i>0}

Am I right?

Eh?

No just for() will actually do an infinite loop.

I'd get my eye spat in if I suggested such a notion to any C++ programmers I know. ;)

I haven't even tried just for() in C++ so I don't even know if it works. However I do know for(;;) works since in some of my programs occasionally a for loop eventually turns into a wanabe while loop and then an infinite loop to be broken out of.

Yes, I can unfortunately attest to the fact that some people think for(;;) is acceptable programming.

Not as bad as ObjectiveC programmers who think it's okay to leave out argument names so you get a method like:
