I tried this code:

// run-pass
// ignore-wasm32-bare no libc to test ffi with
#![feature(c_variadic)]

use std::ffi::VaList;

#[link(name = "rust_test_helpers", kind = "static")]
extern "C" {
    fn rust_interesting_average(_: u64, ...) -> f64;

    // FIXME: we need to disable this lint for `VaList`,
    // since it contains a `MaybeUninit<i32>` on the asmjs target,
    // and this type isn't FFI-safe. This is OK for now,
    // since the type is layout-compatible with `i32`.
    #[cfg_attr(target_arch = "asmjs", allow(improper_ctypes))]
    fn rust_valist_interesting_average(_: u64, _: VaList) -> f64;
}

pub unsafe extern "C" fn test_valist_forward(n: u64, mut ap: ...) -> f64 {
    rust_valist_interesting_average(n, ap.as_va_list())
}

pub unsafe extern "C" fn test_va_copy(_: u64, mut ap: ...) {
    let mut ap2 = ap.clone();
    assert_eq!(rust_valist_interesting_average(2, ap2.as_va_list()) as i64, 30);

    // Advance one pair in the copy before checking
    let mut ap2 = ap.clone();
    let _ = ap2.arg::<u64>();
    let _ = ap2.arg::<f64>();
    assert_eq!(rust_valist_interesting_average(2, ap2.as_va_list()) as i64, 50);

    // Advance one pair in the original
    let _ = ap.arg::<u64>();
    let _ = ap.arg::<f64>();

    let mut ap2 = ap.clone();
    assert_eq!(rust_valist_interesting_average(2, ap2.as_va_list()) as i64, 50);

    let mut ap2 = ap.clone();
    let _ = ap2.arg::<u64>();
    let _ = ap2.arg::<f64>();
    assert_eq!(rust_valist_interesting_average(2, ap2.as_va_list()) as i64, 70);
}

#[kani::proof]
pub fn main() {
    // Call without variadic arguments
    unsafe {
        assert!(rust_interesting_average(0).is_nan());
    }

    // Call with direct arguments
    unsafe {
        assert_eq!(rust_interesting_average(1, 10i64, 10.0f64) as i64, 20);
    }

    // Call with named arguments, variable number of them
    let (x1, x2, x3, x4) = (10i64, 10.0f64, 20i64, 20.0f64);
    unsafe {
        assert_eq!(rust_interesting_average(2, x1, x2, x3, x4) as i64, 30);
    }

    // A function that takes a function pointer
    unsafe fn call(fp: unsafe extern "C" fn(u64, ...) -> f64) {
        let (x1, x2, x3, x4) = (10i64, 10.0f64, 20i64, 20.0f64);
        assert_eq!(fp(2, x1, x2, x3, x4) as i64, 30);
    }

    unsafe {
        call(rust_interesting_average);

        // Make a function pointer, pass indirectly
        let x: unsafe extern "C" fn(u64, ...) -> f64 = rust_interesting_average;
        call(x);
    }

    unsafe {
        assert_eq!(test_valist_forward(2, 10i64, 10f64, 20i64, 20f64) as i64, 30);
    }

    unsafe {
        test_va_copy(4, 10i64, 10f64, 20i64, 20f64, 30i64, 30f64, 40i64, 40f64);
    }
}

using the following command line invocation:

kani file.rs

with Kani version: 0.22.0

I expected to see this happen: explanation

Instead, this happened: explanation
