If I want an unconditional loop, I use a loop-statement!

( and I #define loop as for(;;) --
I too have seen while(1) to result in larger code )

The trouble with goto is that You need to introduce a name for the label,
while with for(;;) the brackets are sufficient. And from Murphy's law
follows: If you have a label, somebody will falsly jump to it.
