typedef void (*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);
}
Every simulated input that must be aborted to
prevent the non-termination of HHH is stipulated
to be correctly rejected by HHH as non-terminating.
