Why "long_integer"? I though most all GNAT > implementations used 32-bit integer, and you only need 21-bits to handle > +/- 1_000_000 If the range is supposed to be 1 .. 1 million then say so: type Population_Range is range 1..1_000_000; Relying on guesses about what compiler might be used and what it might do is C-thought. :(
