[Frama-c-discuss] WP plugin report incorrect



Your function *is* doing something, and the post-condition is exactly your loop invariant with (i == end), hence it finally holds.

I only left it out here, because it didn’t change the result and it shouldn’t be a necessary condition. After all, the contract I gave would be fulfilled by a function that sets a[end-1] to INT_MAX. But doing nothing is not such a function and WP shouldn’t be able to prove that the post-condition holds.
