Not good enough. Show us the code. It may contain a bug that you haven't spotted.

And ld concurs. It can't see HHH either.

Dodge what point? You must be confusing me with someone else, because I have no idea what your point is, unless it's to demonstrate that you have read up on the Halting Problem. Jolly good tick VG, but it's a done deal, it's in the literature, and you're almost a century too late.
