Examples of errors detected by the V712 diagnostic

V712. Compiler may optimize out this loop or make it infinite. Use volatile variable(s) or synchronization primitives to avoid this.

G3D Content Pak

V712 Be advised that compiler may delete this cycle or make it endless. Use volatile variable(s) or synchronization primitives to avoid this. table.h 622

bool containsKey(const Key& key) const {
  unsigned int code = ::hashCode(key);
  unsigned int b = code % numBuckets;

  Node* node = bucket[b];

  while (node != NULL) {
    if ((node->hashCode == code) &&
        (node->entry.key == key)) {
      return true;
    }
    node = node->next;
  } while (node != NULL);

  return false;
}

The diagnostic have indirectly detected an error of another kind. Actually, the loop is empty. The closing parenthesis corresponds to another 'while' operator.

IPP Samples

V712 Be advised that compiler may delete this cycle or make it endless. Use volatile variable(s) or synchronization primitives to avoid this. vm_file_win.c 857

    ....
    va_end( args );
    eol = TRUE;
    free(bpt);
  } while (!eol);
  ....
}

The diagnostic have indirectly detected an error of another kind. Actually, the loop is empty. The closing parenthesis corresponds to 'if' operator.

      wrap = NULL;
    }
    ++i;

  while(wrap == NULL);   // <=
  ....
}

The diagnostic have indirectly detected an error of another kind. Actually, the loop is empty. The closing parenthesis corresponds to previous while operator.
