Description :

Repro case : -------------------p.c--------------- void main () { int x = 0; L: while(x < 4) { x++; } }

frama-c -ulevel 2 -print p.c results in

void main(void) { int x; x = 0; if (! (x < 4)) { goto unrolling_2_loop; } x ++; unrolling_4_loop: /* internal / ; if (! (x < 4)) { goto unrolling_2_loop; } x ++; unrolling_3_loop: / internal / ; L: while (x < 4) { x ++; } unrolling_2_loop: / internal */ ; return; }

The loop is unrolled before the label L. This is not incorrect per se, and even seems to be ok inside 'switch'. However, this will rarely be what the user expects and needs.
