   The core of my whole proof that   
   *The halting problem is either incoherent or the proof wrong*   
   depends on this simple C code   
      
      
   Please think this all the way through without making any guesses   
      
   Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:   
   (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern: abort simulation and   
   return 0.   
   (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.   
   (c) If HHH must abort its simulation to prevent its own non-termination   
         then HHH is correct to abort this simulation and return 0.   
      
   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);   
   }   
      
   What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?
