Competent software engineers will agree that H(P,P)==0 is correct

[olcott]

Software engineers competent in C and the x86 language will verify that
when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input with an x86 emulator that this
emulation would never stop running. This provides the basis for H(P,P)
to correctly reject its input as non-halting.

For any program H that might determine if programs halt, a
"pathological"
program P, called with some input, can pass its own source and its
input to
H and then specifically do the opposite of what H predicts P will
do. No H
can exist that handles this case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

H determines the halt status of its input by watching the behavior of
this input when it is correctly simulated by H using an x86 emulator.
When H correctly matches an infinite behavior pattern it aborts the
emulation of this input and returns 0.

#include <stdint.h>
#define u32 uint32_t

void P(u32 x)
{
if (H(x, x))
HERE: goto HERE;
return;
}

int main()
{
Output("Input_Halts = ", H((u32)P, (u32)P));
}

It is completely obvious that when H(P,P) correctly emulates its input
that it must emulate the first seven instructions of P. Because the
seventh instruction repeats this process we can know with complete
certainty that the emulated P never reaches its final “ret” instruction,
thus never halts.
