I must be missing something here, or there's a bug..
 In the actual function, 
*name becomes a pointer somewhere into path, but this
fragment produces the same error.    

lclint.c:18,11: Unqualified storage *name corresponds to storage listed
in
                   post:dependent clause
  Dependent storage is transferred to a non-dependent reference. Use
  -dependenttrans to suppress message.   


extern int foobar(
	char *path, 
	/*@special@*/ char **name, 
	/*@special@*/ int *len) 
		/*@post:dependent *name@*/
		/*@pre:notnull name, len@*/
		/*@defines *name, *len@*/;

int foobar(char *path,char **name,int *len)
{

	*name = path; 
	*len = strlen(path); 


	return 0;  /* this is line 18 */
}
