C has undefined behavior for that.

You write a program with an infinite empty loop
Undefined behavior
The machine achieves sapience
After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed
