2011/4/11 Levente Uzonyi <[hidden email]>: Right, it sounds like CCodeGenerator>>initializeCTranslationDictionary
does not have #repeat translation.
Though it does not sound difficult to add:

generateRepeat: msgNode on: aStream indent: level
       "Generate do {stmtList} while(true)"

       | stmts testStmt |
       stmts := msgNode receiver statements.
       testStmt := TConstantNode new setValue: true.
       msgNode receiver setStatements: stmts.
       aStream nextPutAll: 'do {'; cr.
       msgNode receiver emitCCodeOn: aStream level: level + 1 generator: self.
       level timesRepeat: [ aStream tab ].
       aStream nextPutAll: '} while('.
       testStmt emitCCodeOn: aStream level: 0 generator: self.
       aStream nextPutAll: ')'.
