Self-closing for loop generates warning by IDEA's Analyze > Inspect code ...

Self-closing for loops are very useful if you simply want to pick out a match to some object (or  some condition for that object) within a collection class.

For example, if I want to find a match to a value 23 in an int array, I can write:

. . . . . .

int[] myArray = new int[2000000];

myArray[99] = 23;

int myValue = 23;

for(int i = 0; i < myArray.length && myArray[i] != myValue; i++);

if (i < myArray.length)

        System.out.println("Value found at index: " + i);

else

        System.out.println("Value not in myArray");

. . . . . . . 

But the IntelliJ IDEA code inspector always issues a warning on each of this type of for loop.

                        Probable Bug: 'for' statement has empty body.

Is there some inherent insecurity with this construct ?

Personally, I find it (nearly essentially!) handy and efficient for finding an entry in an array or collection.
