gollark: <@102436520559910912> That's just an anonymous async function, so yes, it won't run if you don't do anything with it.

gollark: To just waste CPU cycles, this has worked for me before when I wanted to do that for some evil reason or other, but it's probably not very sound:```cvolatile long long int i = 0;while (i < [a big number]) { i++; }```

gollark: Oh right, probably.

gollark: If you do just need to make it do something for a bit, maybe just```cfor (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {}```or something would work, though compilers are getting crafty and might optimize it.

gollark: Is there some reason you can't just use whatever language's equivalent of `sleep(1)` or something?
