 this one and only case where we should report warning for "while".
 Simply ';' is most likely dirty in this code.
 
 but we report this warning also for your code which is wrong.

+Hello Marek,
+
+     Although technically:
+
+     while (xxx) 
+        ;
+
+     Is valid code (and the indentation shows that the intent of the
+while loop is on the xxxx itself) the problem is that it is common
+to write code like this:
+
+     while (xxxx);
+         something;
+
+     Which is what the warning catches.  This matches exactly the
+behavior of C and C++ compilers that warn about an empty statement.
