[Libreoffice] crossing strange code: a little help

[Pierre-André Jacquod]

Hi
within
filters/binfilter/bf_sw/source/core/txtnode/sw_thints.cxx
line 955, I crossed this code construct:

if()
{
  .....
  while (TRUE)
  {
      DBG_BF_ASSERT(0, "STRIP");
  }
  ....
}

???? With and without debugging option on, if the if is entered, then
this is an endless loop????? Does it means that the IF is never taken?
thanks
regards
