NUMERIC (issues)

exceptional cases

Subclasses of NUMERIC can have problems with contracts of features and invariants in special cases. Therefore a query like 'is_exceptional' could be introduced to make contracts conditional in respect to these special cases.

Special cases include:

  • REAL.NaN (all operations)
  • REAL.INF (all operations)
  • INTEGER.min_value (when computing the absolute value an overflow occurs and the result is min_value again)
