The same optimization does not exist for unsigned int, because it is
only made possible by the undefined behavior of the signed int
overflow.

Ok.

But with a code that programmer knows that not overflow:

x86-64 gcc 10.2 (-O2)

unsigned int f(unsigned int i) { unsigned int j, k = 0; for (j = i; j < i; ++j) ++k; return k; }

f(unsigned int):
        xor     eax, eax

        ret
