Passing multi-dimensional arrays via reference fails

Loading the code samples in "regular" Frama-C GUI or using WP plug-in does not cause a crash. I actually encountered this when analyzing the tree-dimensional case (parallelized matrix operations); this is the smallest form i found which shows the problem. More variants can be created, e.g. by moving one array dimension from the typedef into the actual argument (AnArray *paTarget[MAX_SIZE_X], int Value). Attached file contains four C sources to demonstrate the problem (to be split at the comment boxes), accompanied by their stacktraces. ## Attachments - [SamplePrograms.txt](/uploads/2c34352b7be5eab6e92243acbfd7a17d/SamplePrograms.txt)
