This patch adds a warning on a subtype declaration with a
compile-time-known range constraint that is a null range.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
gcc/ada/
* sem_res.adb (Resolve_Range): Warn on null range, unless we are
inside a generic unit or an instance thereof.
* sem_ch3.adb (Analyze_Subtype_Indication): Minor: avoid double
negative.
