Forgot do in do... while loop

I had an annoying bug, where I forgot to write do in a do...while loop.

int main() {
  /*do*/ {
    int status = foo();
  } while (status);
}

Why does this still compile and run? It seems to me that the compiler should reject this as nonsensical or at least raise a warning (I have -Wall in my compiler options). I'm using C++11.

From what I could tell, the braced code runs { ... } and then the programme checks the condition in the while clause ad infinitum.
