Crash during SMT translation of NULL pointers

[SaswatPadhi]

CBMC version: 99f1a2e

Operating system: Mac OS 10.15.7

Test case:

#include <string.h>

void main()
{
    char *data = NULL;
    memset(data, 0, 8);
    memset(data, 0, 8);
}

Exact command line resulting in the issue:

$ cbmc --z3 test.c

What behaviour did you expect:

CBMC would report a verification failure.

What happened instead:

CBMC crashed during SMT translation:

Additional information:

The variable need not be NULL explicitly, but if it could be set to NULL in any branch, it still leads to a crash:

// crash
#include <string.h>

void main()
{
    char *data = nondet() ? NULL : malloc(8);
    memset(data, 0, 8);
    memset(data, 0, 8);
}

But the following program (where data cannot be NULL) does not lead to a crash during translation:

// no crash
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void main()
{
    char *data = nondet() ? malloc(16) : malloc(8);
    memset(data, 0, 8);
    memset(data, 0, 8);
}

Also, a single memset invocation does not lead to a crash and works as expected:

// no crash
#include <string.h>

void main()
{
    char *data = NULL;
    memset(data, 0, 8);
}

The issue appears to be with the encoding of NULL pointers in general.

$ cat test_2.c
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
    assert(NULL != (NULL + 1));
}

$ cbmc test_2.c
[... VERIFICATION SUCCESSFUL ...]

$ cbmc --smt2 test_2.c
[... crash in convert_plus ...]
