You forgot about the butterfly. Even if it looks like nothing could change, something could due to a bit flipping in memory, which would allow the program to halt.
- absherwin 14y agoRight. Any statement that the program is in an infinite loop will usually be subject to error. Of course, the real question anyone asked to develop such a program would be what runtime is equivalent to an infinite loop. Any real-world program must have a runtime bound that is predictable on invocation or it's useless.
