The snippet is reproduced from a large application we currenty
bringing from DEC Ada 83 to GNAT (OpenVMS).... the GNAT 3.16w 
gives a Compiler-Warning whereas the DEC Compiler keeps silent. 

% gnat make wmain.adc
gcc -c -x ada wmain.adc
gcc -c -x ada pack.adc
pack.adc:9:03: warning: in instantiation at Gen.adc:4
pack.adc:9:03: warning: value not in range of type "Standard.Integer"
pack.adc:9:03: warning: "Constraint_Error" will be raised at run time
gnatbind -x wmain.ali
gnatlink wmain.ali

The example runs on both compilers without raising a Constraint_Error.

Is it just a misleading warning message ... if so, i send a bug-report to act.

PS: ObjectAda 7.2.1 compiles also with no warnings
