'for' loop may be replaced by 'while' loop

Reports a for loop that contains neither initialization nor an update component. Suggests replacing the loop with a simpler while statement.

Example:

for(; exitCondition(); ) {
  process();
}

After the quick-fix is applied the result looks like:

while(exitCondition()) {
  process();
}

Use the checkbox below if you wish this inspection to ignore for loops with trivial or non-existent conditions.
