Detecting and handling infinite recursion is easy:
 
__try
{
...
}
__except( GetExceptionCode() == EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW ?
EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER : EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH )
{
...
}

I am creating a halt decider that correctly decides the conventional
halting problem counter examples on the basis of examining the x86
machine language execution trace of the H_Hat() invocations of Halts().
 
The halt decider decides that they are infinitely recursive, aborts its
simulation of H_Hat() and decides not halting.
 
Halts() has as its foundation a complete fully functional x86 emulator
that has "been on the market" for 25 years.
 
void H_Hat(u32 P)
{
u32 Input_Halts = Halts(P, P);
if (Input_Halts)
HERE: goto HERE;
}
 
int main()
{
u32 Input_Would_Halt = Halts((u32)H_Hat, (u32)H_Hat);
Output("Input_Would_Halt = ", Input_Would_Halt);
}
