Using gnat 3.10p on Linux,
I make several computations on long_float (s), then use a
text_io.float_io
to display the results => NaN*****

There is an overflow, Gnat uses the libc, long_float'Machine_Overflows
is false...
fair enough.

What can I do to get a constraint_error raised when there is an
overflow?
Don't tell me that I have to check, via an interface to C finite(), the
result of
each operation!
