In the loop head node, references [] were interesting.
By SMT, we could prove
(0 <= initial_i1 and (((path1_i62 = (path1_i53 + -1) and path1_i62 = res_i53 and path1_i1 = res_i1 and path1_i53 = initial_i53 and path1_i1 = initial_i1) and T) and (res_i62 = (res_i53 + -1) and F)))
to be UNSAT. Consequently, the loop will not terminate.
