Yes, gcc the Gnu Compiler Collection can produce such a warning: procedure test_ovf is ab : integer := 50000; bc : integer := 50000; r : integer := ab * bc; begin null; end test_ovf; gcc -c test_ovf.adb test_ovf.adb:4:22: warning: value not in range of type "Standard.Integer" test_ovf.adb:4:22: warning: "Constraint_Error" will be raised at run time However I'm not sure it is allowed to do the same with C. - Brian
