When HHH recognizes a non-terminating pattern in the execution trace of its emulated input it aborts this emulation and returns 0. typedef void (*ptr)(); int HHH(ptr P); int DD() { int Halt_Status = HHH(DD); if (Halt_Status) HERE: goto HERE; return Halt_Status; } _DD() [00002133] 55 push ebp ; housekeeping [00002134] 8bec mov ebp,esp ; housekeeping [00002136] 51 push ecx ; make space for local [00002137] 6833210000 push 00002133 ; push DD [0000213c] e882f4ffff call 000015c3 ; call HHH(DD) [00002141] 83c404 add esp,+04 [00002144] 8945fc mov [ebp-04],eax [00002147] 837dfc00 cmp dword [ebp-04],+00 [0000214b] 7402 jz 0000214f [0000214d] ebfe jmp 0000214d [0000214f] 8b45fc mov eax,[ebp-04] [00002152] 8be5 mov esp,ebp [00002154] 5d pop ebp [00002155] c3 ret Size in bytes:(0035) [00002155] I challenged everyone here to provide the machine address by machine address (AKA line by line) execution trace of DD correctly emulated by HHH that reaches its own "ret" instruction. No one made any attempt to do this because they know that this would prove that they are stupidly wrong to say that my trace is incorrect. -- Copyright 2025 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
