title: Rice's theorem
text: In computability theory, Rice's theorem states that all non-trivial semantic properties of programs are undecidable. A semantic property is one about the program's behavior, unlike a syntactic property. A non-trivial property is one which is neither true for every program, nor false for every program. The theorem generalizes the undecidability of the halting problem. It has far-reaching implications on the feasibility of static analysis of programs. It implies that it is impossible, for example,
