int D()
{
   int Halt_Status = H(D);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}

I would love to do that after one person confirms
that D simulated by H according to the semantics
of the C programming language cannot reach its
own "return" statement.

People on all forums have been dodging that or
lying about that consistently for three years.

I only came to this forum to get that one question
answered and until then I will keep repeating it
several times a day forever. Feel free to keep
ignoring it now that you know the consequences.
