Re: Every D(D) simulated by H presents non-halting behavior to H ###

I've tried out your much spammed code on GCC (see below).  It is clear
you have never built or run this code, which ironically can't reach Line
06.  It can't even reach line 00.

Richard tried to get away with D never simulated by H as an example
of D simulated by H:

You have said, or at least implied that your code fragment is runnable.
I think you are the liar, here.

00 int H(ptr x, ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
01 int D(ptr x)
02 {
03   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
04   if (Halt_Status)
05     HERE: goto HERE;
06   return Halt_Status;
07 }
08
09 int main()
10 {
11   H(D,D);
12 }

I removed the line numbers from your code, added in a "pointer to int
function" type (you should really learn how to do this yourself) and ran
the result on GCC.

This is the file I submitted:

typedef int (* ptr) (void);
int H(ptr x, ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
int D(ptr x)
{
    int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
    if (Halt_Status)
        HERE: goto HERE;
    return Halt_Status;
}

int main()
{
    H(D,D);
}

.  These are the diagnostics generated by GCC:

olcott.c:2:18: error: redefinition of parameter ‘x’
    2 | int H(ptr x, ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
      |              ~~~~^
olcott.c:2:11: note: previous definition of ‘x’ with type ‘ptr’ {aka ‘int
(*)(void)’}
    2 | int H(ptr x, ptr x)  // ptr is pointer to int function
      |       ~~~~^
olcott.c: In function ‘H’:

   12 | {
      | ^

Any H/D pair matching the above template where D(D) is simulated
by the same H(D,D) that it calls cannot possibly reach past its own
line 03. Simple software engineering verified fact.

The code for D is so full of errors that it cannot demonstrate anything,
beyond a lack of proficiency in C in its author.
