An "infinite loop" is a loop in which the exit criteria are never satisfied; such a loop would perform a potentially infinite number of iterations of the loop body. The general problem of determining whether the execution of a loop with given preconditions will result in an infinite loop is undecidable; in other words, there is no algorithm to determine whether an execution of a loop will eventually terminate. This is known as the halting problem.

Memory leak in infinite loop
What are the damages in your computer if you run a program which continuously generates memory leaks ?
For example:
while(true)
{
char* c = malloc(sizeof(char));
c = NULL;
}
then let that code execute for hours or days?
