[Frama-c-discuss] Issue with non terminating function

It is a standard way to specify that a program point is not reachable,  
yes.

And it serves a different purpose anyway. "ensures \false;"
is a specification that can only be satisfied by a function that does
not terminate. "terminates \false;" is a specification that can
be satisfied by any function, since it only means that the function
does not have to terminate.
