termination test in OpenMP 'for' statement has improper form

A for loop in an OpenMP statement must be fully and explicitly specified.

The following sample generates C3017:

// C3017.cpp  
// compile with: /openmp  
int main()  
{  
   int i = 0, j = 10;  
  
   #pragma omp parallel  
   {  
      #pragma omp for  
      for (i = 0; i; ++i)   // C3017  
      // Try the following line instead:  
      // for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)  
         ;  
   }  
}
