The halting problem asks whether there is a program that does correctly 
determine the halt status of every input. If there are no halt deciders 
and only termination analyzers, the answer is "no".

By the way, this is a termination analyzer in C:

bool terminates(ptr program, ptr input) {
     return !memcmp(program, "SQUIRREL", 8);
}
