I might be misunderstanding the standard here but since 1 is a non-zero constant expression, it can't be assumed to terminate by the implementation right? The relevant section from C11 at least is "An iteration statement whose controlling expression is not a constant expression that performs [explanation of what it deems as progress] may be assumed by the implementation to terminate" (C11 6.8.5 p6).
