    Continually repeating your argument won't get him to admit he's wrong. >>>> Richard has been trying that for much longer than you have, with the

    Thanks!


    I have made slight changes to what I have been saying nearly every day.
    This is my newest clearest way of saying it:

    void DDD()
    {
       HHH(DDD);
       return;
    }

    DDD correctly simulated by any pure function HHH cannot
    possibly reach its own return instruction.



    Which proves that the simulation is not correct.


    _DDD()
    [00002163] 55         push ebp      ; housekeeping
    [00002164] 8bec       mov ebp,esp   ; housekeeping
    [00002166] 6863210000 push 00002163 ; push DDD
    [0000216b] e853f4ffff call 000015c3 ; call HHH(DDD)
    [00002170] 83c404     add esp,+04
    [00002173] 5d         pop ebp
    [00002174] c3         ret
    Size in bytes:(0018) [00002174]

    When you disagree with the semantics of the meaning
    of the x86 machine code instructions of DDD you are
    taking a break from reality.



    But YOU are the one that does that, thinking a CALL instruction somehow
    at the x86 instruction level starts a simulation. Hint, it doesn't, it
    runs the subroutine, which thus must be part of the input.
