I've always kind of liked that `for (;;)` doesn't involve an explicit constant, but I too like consistency even more. :) ________________________________ From: Ryosuke Niwa via webkit-dev <webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org> Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2022 1:01:01 PM To: Yusuke Suzuki <ysuz...@apple.com>; Tim Nguyen <tim_nguy...@apple.com>; WebKit Development <webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org> Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] Style guide: enforce `while (true)` over `for (; ; )`
I do prefer for (;;) because of less typing but if the existing code mostly uses while (true) then we should go with it.

Given 2/3 of the usages are `while (true)` and only 1/3 is `for (;;)` from code search, I would suggest enforcing `while (true)`. I also think it is generally more explicit and readable than `for (;;)`. If everyone agrees, I’ll enforce this via webkit-style, so we can end up in a consistent place. What does everyone think?
