[Frama-c-discuss] hint assertions and understanding cooperation between wp and value plugin



Sorry to interfere, but I don't understand the meaning of "wrong in WP"

According to ACSL manual, this lemma is a statement expressed purely in
mathematical real arithmetic, and as such it is valid. It is indeed
proved automatically by Z3 4.4.1.

If you want to state a similar property talking about floating-point
arithmetic, it should be stated differently, typically using a program

void f(double x) {
  double y = x*x - .2 * x + 0.01;
  //@ assert y >= 0.0;
}

But I guess it probably wrong because of rounding, even with a
precondition like \abs(x) <= 1.0

My two cents,
