In the loop head node, references [] were interesting.
By SMT, we could prove
(0 <= initial_i1 and (((path1_i48 = (path1_i44 + -1) and path1_i48 = res_i44 and path1_i1 = res_i1 and path1_i44 = initial_i44 and path1_i1 = initial_i1) and T) and (res_i48 = (res_i44 + -1) and F)))
to be UNSAT. Consequently, the loop will not terminate.
