Personally, I'm in the "while (true) { ... }" camp.  To me, "for (;;)" looks like a weird smiley, and I do not fall for any appeals to Deniis Ritchie's authority.

Writing for (;;) is what I personally tend to write, however if a team does not like that, well, I will use while (true), or whatever... I think I tend to write for (;;) because I can adapt it for something like:
for (unsigned long long i = 0; ; ++i)
{
     //...
}
So, I can get a running counter (i) or something... Oh well.

  But we are missing another option:
 void mainloop() {
     // do something
     mainloop();
}
 That should be fine with an optimising compiler.
 

Still worry about run away recursion...
