   int D()   
   {   
      int Halt_Status = H(D);   
      if (Halt_Status)   
        HERE: goto HERE;

   I would love to do that after one person confirms   
   that D simulated by H according to the semantics   
   of the C programming language cannot reach its   
   own "return" statement.   
      
   People on all forums have been dodging that or   
   lying about that consistently for three years.   
      
   I only came to this forum to get that one question   
   answered and until then I will keep repeating it   
   several times a day forever. Feel free to keep   
   ignoring it now that you know the consequences.
