Perform the complete simulation specified in main() and provide a
full execution trace before doing anything else.
Simulating Termination Analyzer HHH correctly simulates its input until:
(a) It correctly detects that its simulated input cannot
possibly reach its own simulated final halt state then:
abort simulation and return 0 rejecting its input as non-halting.
(b) Simulated input reaches its simulated "return" statement: return 1.
(c) Neither (a) nor (b) is correct return -1
typedef int (*ptr)();
int HHH(ptr P);
int DD()
{
int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);
if (Halt_Status)
HERE: goto HERE;
return Halt_Status;
}
int main()
{
HHH(DD);
}
What value should HHH(DD) correctly return?

I adapted the above to conform to what Kaz said
to give it an escape hatch.
Just the updated three-way halts does_not_halt neither.

Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT 5.0 all agree.
