Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Single-Pass Algorithm for Eliminating Constraint Checks in Ada Programs
In the remainder of the chapter, test and check will be used as synonyms for the term constraint check.
Unfortunately, because these checks are performed at run-time, there is a (possibly severe) performance penalty associated with them. In recognition of that penalty, the language provides the programmer with the means of not generating these tests through use of the suppress pragma.
