You seem to be new. I recommend you don’t go down this road,
but read Mike Terry’s posts.
Mike whom is otherwise brilliant and seems to have
proved that he is honest by his reference and application
of the steelman argument.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man#Steelmanning
Seems to have a complete blind spot when is comes to
typedef int (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);
int DD()
{
int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
if (Halt_Status)
HERE: goto HERE;
return Halt_Status;
}
int main()
{
HHH(DD);
}
N statements of DD simulated by HHH according to the
semantics of the C programming language reaching the
simulated "return" statement of DD for any value of N.
