C's for loop does not universally handle all cases with a fixed comparison in the predicate. If you use < you cannot stop a loop which reaches the maximum value of the control variable type (for some types). If you use <= you cannot skip the body of the loop for zero cases. There is therefore no formulation for an arbitrary integral type which works correctly for 0 upto and including maximum value of the type. You need to understand my problem: I am generating code (not hand writing it) for unknown type with unknown bounds.
