The issue
On the attached file, after parsing and printing the code, running frama-c again to parse the code produces an error (that disappears after manually removing \ghost attribute).
Here is the example
// Run frama-c on this file and pretty-print it:
// frama-c f_cut.c -print -no-unicode -ocode f_cut_printed.c
// Run on the resulting pretty-printed file:
// frama-c f_cut_printed.c
typedef unsigned char uint8;
typedef unsigned short uint16;
typedef unsigned long uint32;
uint8 Array[10];
/*@ ghost uint32 FCG_Number; */
/*@ ghost uint32 FCG_Var1[1000]; */
/*@ ghost uint32 FCG_Var2[1000]; */
/*@
predicate mypredl{L}=
(\forall integer MyNum;
0 <= MyNum < FCG_Number ==> FCG_Var2[MyNum] ==
((uint16)(*((uint8 *)(&Array[FCG_Var1[MyNum]] + (1))) * 256 + *((uint8 *)((&Array[FCG_Var1[MyNum]] + (1 + 2)) + 1)))) ) ;
