In an embedded realtime device, where are you going to write the log? What I'm getting at is the verification process really does require ensuring that K < N at all of the call sites, not just that the function using K works properly given the precondition. > I', suspicious.

The Altran specification process involves reading the 500 page document and translating it to a Z notation spec. Then they get the customer to sign off on the spec, and then they write the code which they guarantee conforms to the spec. There is an obvious potential scam here: the Z notation probably looks like mathematical gibberish to the customer, so maybe they shrug their shoulders and sign. Then if the program does something the customer didn't expect, they call Altran, which checks that the unexpected thing really was what the formal spec said to do, so the customer can pay for a spec change but they can't invoke the guarantee, since the implementation conforms to the existing customer-accepted spec. I don't know if that's a problem in practice. Altran does ship real systems that are highly regarded.
