for(;;) vs. while(1) is a draw

[Peter da Silva]

In article <5931 at buengc.BU.EDU> bph at buengc.bu.edu (Blair P. Houghton) indulges
in a bunch of legalistic hairsplitting.

So the question comes down to whether the phrase "the compiler claims
X3.159 conformance" is equivalent to "the implementor claimed to be
matching the standard's model of a hypothetical machine". Since the
standard (X3.159) is defined in terms of this hypothetical machine, this
is such a fine point that only a lawyer would care about the difference...

Are you a lawyer?
