This converts a C++ file to C, that's always good news ;)

Is there a reason for running this in a subshell?

while true; do

is POSIX-compatible syntax.

Your shell scripts always remind me a lot of C programs, but shell
programming is not C programming.  Don't try to work in terms of
arrays or for loops that have integer counters.


Your style of writing

  if ...
  then

  while ...
  do

  for ...
  do

on two lines is correct syntax but rather weird style that I have never
before seen used outside of the HIP source tree.  The more common style
is

  if ...; then

  while ...; do

  for ...; do
