dfaure was wondering whether "Q_FOREVER" was any better than "while (true)"; given "Q_FOREVER" is just a #define for "for(;;)" (which does exactly the same as "while (true)"), there's no real difference (with any sane compiler), only an aesthetic one.

Personally, I think "while (true)" is the best one; it's completely obvious to anyone who knows C or C++ what it does.
