Sure try:

         #define TRUE    1
         int test(void)
         {
                 while (TRUE) {
                       break; /* or goto done; */
                 }
         /* done: */
                 return(1);
         }

or add
#pragma warn -rvl /* before the function end */
and
#pragma warn .rvl /* after the function end */
