It depends on the compiler. And of course it is advantage to provide more details.
For instance HAC issues for...

procedure CE_2 is
  i : Positive;
  j : Integer := 1;
begin
  i := -j;
end CE_2;

the message:
hac ce_2.adb
HAC VM: raised Constraint_Error
Out of range: pos, -1, is below (sub)type's lower bound, 1
Trace-back: approximate location
ce_2.adb: CE_2 at line 5

Of for...

procedure CE_3 is
  a : array (1 .. 5) of Integer;
begin
  a (7) := 2;
end CE_3;

hac ce_3.adb
HAC VM: raised Constraint_Error
Out of range: index (pos: 7) is above upper bound (pos: 5)
Trace-back: approximate location
ce_3.adb: CE_3 at line 4
