KK> This doesn't:

KK> int fred(void)

KK> while (1) {

KK> }
KK> }

KK> The previous one will be a nuisance diagnosic since the always_true

KK> If the belief is correct, why not restructure the code:

KK> int fred(void)
KK> {
KK> extern int always_true(void);

KK> for (;;) {
KK> always_true(); // call for its side effect only

KK> }
