 It is not supposed to be a general solution to the halting problem.
it only shows how the "impossible" input is correctly determined

 But how do you determine it is non-halting?
 As I know you are even unable to define what 'halt' mean !!!
 

I have done this thousands of times and after someone
has read these thousands of times they say that I never
said it once.
 void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
 int main()
{
   HHH(DDD);
}
 If DDD correctly emulated by HHH cannot possibly
reach its return instruction then it never halts.
 

 But a correct simulation is impossible.

 When HHH does what-ever-the-hell the x86 semantics specifies
then HHH is correct.
