Unconditional loop

Background

Unconditional loops are very common in most code. However, in many cases they can be replaced by code that functions in a very similar way, but is more easily readable.
For an unconditional loop to be recognized, two conditions must be met:

• The outcome of the loop expression will always evaluate to true.
• None of the variables that determine the outcome of the loop expression must be assigned to within the loop.

Since 0.6

Example

while(true) {
   if (condition) {
      break;
   }
}

while(!condition) {
}

Requires bindings

This code check requires Eclipse to resolve bindings. Enabling this code check increases build time.
