The -gnatwc switch enables warnings for test condition outcomes that are
known at compile time. Such warnings are unlikely to be useful in the
case of an assertion expression (or a subexpression thereof), so do not
generate them in that case.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
gcc/ada/
* sem_warn.adb (Warn_On_Constant_Valid_Condition): Do not
generate a warning if the expression in question is an assertion
expression, or a subexpression thereof. But do call
Test_Comparison so that it can generate warnings for the cases
that it generates warnings for.
* sem_prag.ads: Modify Assertion_Expression_Pragma constant so
that the predicate Sem_Util.In_Assertion_Expression_Pragma
returns True for the expression of a Compile_Time_Error pragma.
