 Halting.
 Since HHH defined to be a termination analyzer, by that definition it must return to its caller.
 Since DDD has no inputs, its behavior isn't affected by any inputs, and thus DDD will halt for ALL input conditions, so

 You are stupidly saying that Infinite_Loop() will halt because
it has no inputs.

void Infinite_Loop()
{
   HERE: goto HERE;
}
