The Reference Manual is quite clear (section 13.11.2):

|                           _Erroneous Execution_

| 16. Evaluating a name that denotes a nonexistent object is erroneous.

You cannot expect that a Constraint_Error exception is raised in this
case, unless your compiler documentation guarantees this.
