[Frama-c-discuss] Verifications of calls to unannotated functions

However, I see a problem with a postcondition \true: Assume you have statements S; T in the code where S is a call of an unannotated function and T is some statement. Further, assume the verifier has shown {P} T {Q}, where P = wp(T,Q) is the weakest precondition of T wrt Q. Then, the verifier has to show that true -> P is valid, which means it has to show that P is valid. The problem I see is that the verifier will fail here.

Maybe the verifier works differently?
