[Frama-c-discuss] WP - Verifiable annotations with some types but not others

First, just a remark: \valid_range is deprecated (use \valid and .. as
you did in the latter version of your requires).
More importantly, you shouldn't need this requirement: your argument
is a struct which contains an array,
so b.val is always a valid block of 4 doubles. In fact all annotations
are proved with Nitrogen and alt-ergo.
In addition, you cannot prove a requires clause directly: it leads to
a proof obligation on the callers of the function
(to ensure that they meet the requirements set up by the function).
Since there is no caller of init in your code, there's nothing to be
proved for the requires.

Best regards,
