### Description :
Running "frama-c -wp 426.cpp" produces the output:
Now output intermediate result
426.cpp:5:[kernel] warning: found two contracts. Merging them
[wp] Running WP plugin...
The warning remains if
(1) the contract in line 7 is activated, or
(2) the contract in line 11 is deactivated.
The warning disappears if
(3) lines 4-5 are deleted,
(4) line 8 is deleted, or
(5) "char" is changed to "int" in line 13.
Even if the warning is printed, the proof obligation for the constructor call in line 13 seems to be correct, viz.:
(* ---------------------------------------------------------- *)
(* --- Instance of 'Pre-condition (file 426.cpp, line 4) in '_ZN7complexIcEEC1vci'' in 'main' at call '_ZN7complexIcEEC1vci' (file 426.cpp, line 13)
--- *)
(* ---------------------------------------------------------- *)
goal main_call__ZN7complexIcEEC1vci_pre:
forall i : int.
forall t : int farray.
(i <= 6) ->
linked(t) ->
is_sint32(i) ->
(1 = i)
So it is not clear which contracts are merged. Possibly this is a revival of issue #1611. However, it could also indicate that the contract in line 4 is merged with the (empty) contract of the constructor in line 8 (since the warning disappears when line 8 is removed) - which would be wrong in general.
