Description :

I have tried to prove properties involving NULL pointers, and I had problem to write the ACSL part. Here is and example: /*@ ensures e1: \result == \null; ensures e2: \result == 0; ensures e3: \result == (int *) \null; ensures e4: \result == (int *) 0; ensures e5: \result == (int *)((void *)0); */ int * f (void) { return NULL; }

None of the properties are proved with the default memory model. I finally manage to prove them with: -wp-model Typed+cast

Since NULL is used very often in programs, even with a clean typing, maybe something could be done for this special case ? Just a suggestion... ;-)
