I am convinced that the question can be fully answered entirely on the
basis of the semantics of C in the exact same way that the termination
status of the following functions can be answered entirely on the basis
of sufficient knowledge of the semantics of c.

*If you believe otherwise then I ask for you to please justify this*

void Infinite_Recursion()
{
   Infinite_Recursion();
}

int factorial(int n) // called with 5
{
   if (n >= 1)
     return n*factorial(n-1);
   else
     return 1;
}

void Infinite_Loop()
{
   HERE: goto HERE;
}
