I can only assume it’s an infinite loop.
Can I leave out any of the three expressions in a for loop? Is there a default for each when omitted?

It is indeed an infinite loop.
Under the hood the compiler/jitter will optimize this to (effectively) a simple JMP operation.
It’s also effectively the same as:
(except that this is also optimized away, since the (true) part of a while expression usually requires some sort of comparison, however in this case, there’s nothing to compare. Just keep on looping!)
