I see following in c-tree.texi.

@item LOOP_EXPR
These nodes represent ``infinite'' loops. The @code{LOOP_EXPR_BODY}
represents the body of the loop. It should be executed forever, unless
an @code{EXIT_EXPR} is encountered.

@item EXIT_EXPR
These nodes represent conditional exits from the nearest enclosing
@code{LOOP_EXPR}. The single operand is the condition; if it is
nonzero, then the loop should be exited. An @code{EXIT_EXPR} will only
appear within a @code{LOOP_EXPR}.

They are in c-tree.texi because they are now GENERIC, not GIMPLEtrees. GIMPLE lowers LOOP_EXPRS. He asked about using LOOP_EXPR in GIMPLE. As the docs say, LOOP_EXPRS are no longer GIMPLE, they are lowered to explicit gotos.

I do not see it in .generic output also.
