This is a request to depcrecate -ftrapv which has numerous problems

to have the energy to ensure it is working I propose to deprecate it
for GCC 4.3 to make it possible to remove it during 4.4 (and not
block removing libcall notes by it).
Why doesn't it work? Can it be made to work relatively easily? Do we
need functionality like this for Ada or Java?
Java only traps on integer division by zero. As I understand it, this
is handled by a different mechanism.
The situation is:
Ada: integer overflow checking required (it's off by default in GNAT,
but you get required standard behavior by using -gnato, the reason
it is off by default is that the code is so horrible).
Java: integer overflow checking is prohibited, wrap around semantics
is required (IMO a horrible choice, but there you are!)
C: integer overflow undefined, checking desirable at least for
debugging purposes.
I think latest Fortran is same as C, can someone confirm?
