In that case, the GCC extension is part of the input language (in a broader sense). Still, your example clearly shows the difficulties involved in practice.

If you know the compiler (and every other tools involved in the process), then yes, there exist at least one solution (the original input). The search will eventually find it.

My point is not about checking if the given program will halt or not. The parent comment's suggestion was: (1) for each possible input program, (1.a) compile it, and (1.b) check if the result equals the given compiled code. Agreed, steps (1

I appreciate your reply. I am not sure if I really am on the Scholars side of the spectrum myself, but I surely love to know how to use my tools appropriately (Googling instead of memorizing everything is efficient). There was an article re

If you write one statement per line, the code is very clear, and there is no need for semicolons. It is after all possible, according to the syntax, and a minifier should be able to understand it, as well as your browser. I am certainly not

The original argument is not about the minifier, but about semicolons. By the way, why would your better minifier introduce a semicolon here ? This is obviously a useless character in this example. Also, I don't understand how adding a semi

That theory is so simplistic. It is based on a very selfish and static vision of a relationship : "the other must think like me", "people never change". Arguing, debating, ... with people about your respective points of view do not prevent
