I can't see why Lint would consider this an error and for ( ; ; ) not.
Even so, isn't there some markup you can add in a comment to reassure Lint
that this is what you intend?
FWIW, assuming you're discussing PC-lint...
PC-lint considers "for (;;)" to be the "traditional" or "conventional" way
to express an endless loop, and therefore does not comment on it.
Personally, I use "while (1)" or "while(TRUE)" more often, and indeed,
PC-lint warns about that, perhaps to catch mistakes of the form of "while
(Flag)" where Flag is a preprocessor macro that expands into a constant. To
suppress that warning for your entire program, use -e716, or disable on the
line you use it with a lint comment like /*lint !e716 */.
