   They have done so, many times. They have told you many times that   
   you are wrong. You don't care, of course.

   The rules of C offer no mechanism for HHH to be able to simulate   
   any C function using nothing but a function pointer. The closest   
   you can get is to dereference it, but you don't do that. Your   
   'simulation' doesn't simulate any part of DD past the call in its   
   first line, and you can only do that because of a   
   platform-specific hack that breaks the rules of C.   
      
   You have been told this many times, but you're not interested in   
   truth or competence., so (as Kaz rightly said) we all have to   
   assume that you are ignorant and incompetent.   
      
   Followups set to comp.theory only, because nobody has anything to   
   gain from your cross-posting to language experts whose expert   
   opinions you invariably ignore.
