Compiler Warning (level 4) C4127
conditional expression is constant
The controlling expression of an if statement or while loop evaluates to a constant. If the controlling expression of a while loop is a constant because the loop will exit in the middle, consider replacing the while loop with a for loop. You can omit the initialization, termination test and loop increment of a for loop, which causes the loop to be infinite (like while(1)) and you can exit the loop from the body of the for statement.
The following sample generates C4127:
// C4127.cpp
// compile with: /W4
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
if (1 == 1) {} // C4127
while (1) { break; } // C4127
// OK
for ( ; ; ) {
printf("test\n");
break;
}
}
