In the loop head node, references [i17] were interesting.
By SMT, we could prove
((0 <= initial_i17 and 0 <= initial_i15) and (((path2_i17 = path2_i25 and path2_i25 = path2_i29 and path2_i32 = (path2_i29 + 1) and path2_i32 = res_i17 and path2_i15 = res_i15 and path2_i17 = initial_i17 and path2_i15 = initial_i15) and (path2_i25 > 0 and path2_i29 > 3)) and ((res_i17 = res_i25 and res_i25 = res_i29 and res_i32 = (res_i29 + 1)) and !(res_i25 > 0 and res_i29 > 3))))
to be UNSAT. Consequently, the loop will not terminate.
