Summary

0001435: The post-conditon of [gets] got status invalid

Description

When using 'gets' from Frama-C include files, the value analysis gives : :/usr/local/share/frama-c/libc/stdio.h:225: [value] Function gets: postcondition got status invalid. I don't really understand how Value can say something about the post-condition of an undefined function, but anyway, then I get "This call never terminates". It seems that a fix is to add : @ assigns \result \from s, *__fc_stdin; but maybe it could be more correct to also add : @ assigns *__fc_stdin \from *__fc_stdin ;

Additional Information

Example : $ frama-c -val toto.c -cpp-extra-args="-I`frama-c -print-path`/libc -nostdinc" #include void main () { char line[100]; char * p = gets (line); }

Notes
(0003921) yakobowski (manager) 2013-05-30 11:40	Your fix is correct, thanks. Evaluation of post-condition is needed to reduce the state coming from the assigns. However, we probably should write a different big scary message when the post-condition of those functions get status invalid, at it usually indicates a wrong post-condition instead of a real status.

(0003922) Anne (reporter) 2013-05-30 12:03	Yes : it is quite dangerous if one doesn't notice it since it can lead to too much dead code, and dead code is not so easy to analyze on a large application...
