It's a Cism near as I can tell. As you know it's the functional equivalent of
while(1) {}. As for the principle behind it... the entire (;;) evaluates to
an unmet condition. thus the for loop never ends. Personally I prefer (for
readability purpose) the while(1). But most compilers today will optimize
both such that the condition is never met.
