Recently I've picked another style which I like now better than
anything I've seen before:

  while(xxxx)
       { }

The "{ }" is more meaty than just a ";" yet it communicates very
clearly that it's an empty loop body. (I've picked it from the
style of C++ constructor with empty body, but I like it for the
loops as well).
