 I am correct

Oh, I see. Yes, of course you are. Well done.
"DDD simulated by HHH cannot possibly return".
Then HHH cannot possibly simulate DDD.

everything else is off-topic for this post.

And HHH() is off-topic for this newsgroup. You started the thread in comp.lang.c, so to make it topical you'd have to rewrite HHH() in C instead of peppering your code with assembly language calls.
