Use of null statement in C

by

It’s typically the side-effect of a code block that was stripped by the preprocessor, like

#if DEBUG
    #define ASSERT(_x) Assert(_x)
#else
    #define ASSERT(_x)
#endif


ASSERT(test);    // Results in null statement in non-debug builds

That, or in loops where your condition already contains whatever needs to be done in each iteration.
