Reasoning about reals

I am experimenting with OpenJML in combination with Z3, and I'm trying to reason about double or float values:

class Test {

  //@ requires b > 0;
  void a(double b) {
  }

  void b() {
    a(2.4);
  }
}

I have already found out OpenJML uses AUFLIA as the default logic, which doesn't support reals. I am now using AUFNIRA.

Unfortunately, the tool is unable to prove this class:

→ java -jar openjml.jar -esc -prover z3_4_3 -exec ./z3 Test.java -noInternalSpecs -logic AUFNIRA

Test.java:8: warning: The prover cannot establish an assertion (Precondition: Test.java:3: ) in method b
    a(2.4);
     ^
Test.java:3: warning: Associated declaration: Test.java:8: 
  //@ requires b > 0;
      ^
2 warnings

Why is this?

The SMT translation (used as input for z3) appears to be faulty when doubles are involved. In Program B below, which uses doubles instead of ints, the constants for either the call or the pre-condition never get translated into SMT.

This is a fault of openjml, not z3 - since z3 would need something of the form (define-fun _JML__tmp3 () Real 2345.0) to work with (see verbose output of Program A), but openjml never generates it. In general, floating point support seems to be buggy.

Program A (with ints):

class Test {
    //@ requires b > 1234;
    void a(int b) { }
    void z() { a(2345); }
}

Output (running with -verbose | grep 234, to search for mentions of 1234 or 2345 in the verbose output):

  // requires b > 1234; 
Pre_1 = b > 1234;
    // requires b > 1234; 
    assume Assignment Pre_1_0_21___4 == b_55 > 1234;

    // a(2345)
    int _JML__tmp3 = 2345;
    boolean _JML__tmp6 = _JML__tmp3 > 1234;
    // a(2345)
    int _JML__tmp3 = 2345
