Infinite loop statement

Reports for, while, or do statements that can only exit by throwing an exception. While such statements may be correct, they often happen due to coding errors.

Example:

for (;;) {
}

Use the Ignore when placed in Thread.run option to ignore the infinite loop statements inside Thread.run. It may be useful for the daemon threads.

Example:

new Thread(() -> {
  while (true) {
  }
}).start();
