Yes.  With -Wstrict-overflow:

../../../trunk/libjava/java/lang/natString.cc: In function ‘jint 
_Jv_FormatInt(jchar*, jint)’:
../../../trunk/libjava/java/lang/natString.cc:375: warning: assuming signed 
overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant


It also warns about this sort of code which occurs a few times in that
file:

  if (offset < 0 || count < 0 || offset + count < 0
      || offset + count > data_size)

Since if offset < 0 and count < 0, then VRP can assume that offset +
count < 0 is always true.  If you want to code to correctly check for
signed overflow of offset + count, you will need to instead write
something along the lines of INT_MAX - offset <= count.
