   That DD halts when executed by a C conforming execution environment   
   proves that the input to HHH(DD) specifies a halting behaviour. If   
   the DD simulated by HHH specifies a different behaviour then the DD   
   simulated by HHH is not the DD given as the input. If the answer   
   returned by HHH(DD) does not mean "halts" then HHH is not a halt   
   decider nor a partial halt decider.

   A C function cannot have any function as an argument, only a pointer   
   to a function of a particular type. A pointer to any function of the   
   right type can be given as the argument, including the a pointer to   
   the calling function.

   However, it is the one that is geven as the input in HHH(DD).
