The pragma ``Suppress (Overflow_Check)`` disables overflow
checking, but it has no effect on the method used for computing
to ensure compatibility with code imported from some other
compiler to GNAT.

make sure that your code is compatible with any other possible
Ada implementation. This may be useful in ensuring portability
