Which is the correct C# infinite loop, for (;;) or while (true)? [closed]

The C# compiler will transform both

for(;;)
{
    // ...
}

and

while (true)
{
    // ...
}

into

{
    :label
    // ...
    goto label;
}

The CIL for both is the same. Most people find while(true) to be easier to read and understand. for(;;) is rather cryptic.

Source:

I messed a little more with .NET Reflector, and I compiled both loops with the “Optimize Code” on in Visual Studio.

Both loops compile into (with .NET Reflector):

Label_0000:
    goto Label_0000;

Raptors should attack soon.
