Richard, Arnaud, could you check amongst GNAT experts if for such types
(non power of two modulus), it's not worth enabling overflow checks by
default now that we have VRP doing non trivial optimisations? People
using non power of two modulus are not caring for performance anyway, so
having a compliant implementation by default won't harm.
Changing compilation options to paper over potential bugs is IMHO not the best
approach, especially if the new options are little used. And the current
implementation of -gnato makes it a "heavy" option, not a "light" one.
it's not a bug, -gnato is clearly documented as required in this
case, what makes you think otherwise?
Non power of 2 modular is so rare that using -gnato in this
case seems just fine to me.
