   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);   
   }   
      
   This code has been fully operational   
   for three years so I know what it does.   
      
   That no one else has been able to confirm   
   that DD simulated by HHH cannot possibly   
   reach its own "return" instruction has been   
   the issue that everyone has ignored or lied   
   about for three years.   
      
   If you want to rudely fail to give me the   
   five minute review that I have been asking   
   for for three years I will be a forever   
   poster to this group.
