This is perfectly valid VAX assembly code:

start:
 incl i^#0
 bneq start

On most computers, incrementing a literal like this results in an error. On the VAX, it’s perfectly legal. It actually modifies the instruction and sets the flags, so it will become an incl i^#1 the next time it runs.

movc3 s^#6,b^-4(pc),b^0(pc)

This instruction will copy itself forwards through memory, until it hits ROM, I/O space, or other unwritable memory. It’s similar to PDP-11’s mov -(pc),-(pc) but works forwards in memory instead of backwards.
