There is no exit condition, once cline-i is smaller than 1.
In that case getline returns an empty string,

Not according to the documentation for :help getline():

    When {lnum} is smaller than 1 or bigger than the
    number of lines in the buffer, an empty string is
    returned.

That is the reason for the comment (will always exit from while).

which happens to match your "^\s*$" and therefore
