It correctly determines that the halting problem's otherwise "impossible" input is actually non halting. int DD() { int Halt_Status = HHH(DD); if (Halt_Status) HERE: goto HERE; return Halt_Status; } https://github.com/plolcott/x86utm -- Copyright 2024 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
