Hello Yannick

You are talking about Ada.  Just add annotation and you get SPARK and
static analysis.

SPARK is about
  - Data and information flow analysis annotations ensure that data
are used in the expected way.
  - Proof of absence of run-time errors that can spare exception error
handling and defensive programming.

Just have a look on the Phil Torney web site (SparkSure) and download
his Proof of Absence of Run-Time Error tutorial
http://www.sparksure.com/resources/Proof_Annotations.zip

It worth to have a glance at it...
