A warning about an action doesn't mean that you can't do it and often
it passes unnoticed. Anyway that was just an example of many different
problems that can be caught while compiling, like the range checking
and some more features that make you to avoid problems.
I don't want to make any comparison between these ( C++ and Ada95 )
languages, because many professionals have already written about this
issue, and as far as I am concerned I like both them.
