### Description :
Starting from the simple function
#define MAX_SIZE_X 10
typedef int AnArray[MAX_SIZE_X];
void FillArray(AnArray *paTarget, int Value)
{
int x = 0;
for (x = 0; x < MAX_SIZE_X; x++)
{
(*paTarget)[x] = Value;
}
}
the code above is accepted by Jessie and can be verified (annotations removed for brevity here), but as AnArray is extended to two or more dimensions (typedef int AnArray[MAX_SIZE_X][MAX_SIZE_Y]...) - and the filling loops adapted to match - jessie crashes on loading the source file.
### Additional Information :
Tested with Frama-C/Nitrogen, why-2.30 and why3-0.71 compiled in cygwin.
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.
