Support for primitive arbitrary precision numeric types. #12

* Improving JML: For a Safer and More Effective Language. TR 2003-001.2, Computer Science Department, Concordia University, May 2003.

Abstract. An unusually high number of published JML specifications are invalid or inconsistent, including cases from the security critical area of smart card applications. We claim that these specification errors are due to a mismatch between user expectations and the current JML semantics of expressions over numeric types. After a short discussion of JML language design goals and objectives, we introduce JMLa, an adaptation of JML supporting primitive arbitrary precision numeric types. To support our claim that the identified specification errors are due to JMLs divergence from user expectations, we demonstrate that the invalidities and inconsistencies disappear under JMLa semantics with either no, or minor syntactic changes to the specifications. Other advantages of JMLa are illustrated including safetyhow it allows an automated static checker like ESC/Java to detect more specification and implementation errors.

Is this done (or half done)?

The primitive types are supported in OpenJML. Not all the details of the arithmetic modes are supported yet. I think this issue was originally entered against JML2, but we'll take it now as a reminder to finish arithmetic modes in OpenJML
