The basic problem is code like this:
unsigned count;
while (--count > 0) {
/* do something */
}
This loop will never fail, because unsigned numbers are always greater
than or equal to zero.
Sean says:
Correction..
unsigned numbers are not negative!
unsigned count will eventually reach zero and exit the while loop.
Those short on patience or machines with 32bit integral types
should initialize count = 10; or less and see for themselves..
