> In the five years I worked in avionics, the only time I saw a while loop was in code review where the person who wrote it (always a new person) was directed to take it out.

I can understand the concern about loop termination, but what is the alternative? Are for loops without a hardcoded upper limit allowed? Or must all loops be unrolled?
