I understood it, but is not the goal to avoid the use of C++ constructs in WINE code?

The real question is why convert a for loop to a while loop?  My guess is to avoid a possible empty or zero length foo.  Of course, there should be a check before this for an empty or misformed foo[0] avoiding a divide by zero error.
