Can be done as
while (pixels--) { ... }
or
do { ... } while (--pixels);
I don't see why a while loop would be an improvement here TBH.
Less letters to parse when reading the code.
It's a simple refactoring of code that has worked well so far. Let's leave it as-is for now.
IMO *always* prefer a for loop over while or do-while.
The for (i = 0; i < N; i++) is such a strong paradigm in C. You instantly know how many times you're going to loop, at a glance. Not so with with the alternatives, which should be used sparingly.
while () {} _is_ a paradigm, for-loop is syntax sugar on top of it.
And while() is just syntax sugar for goto. :p
The for loop written as for (i = 0; i < N; i++) is hands down the most obvious counting loop pattern there is in C.
And yes, the do-while suggested above is buggy, and you actually need to stop and think to see why.
It depends if pixels can be 0 or not and if it's not, then does it contain last or number.
The do {} while (--pixels); might be buggy iff pixels may be 0.
Yeah. And how long does it take to figure that out?
