Can anybody tell me why
Code:
for(i; currComb & (1 << i) != 0; i++);
remains looping indefinetly?

i == 0 in the beginning, I have checked it (I also initialized it to 0, same story)
currComb == 1
and currComb & (1 << i) == 0 after the first iteration

I am using gcc

Found the reason for the problem. If you have an expression that you want to compare against a value or variable, then the expression has to be in quotes. In my case, "(1 << i) != 0" was evaluated and the result was TRUE every single time.
