invoke.texi: Add mention of BOZ constants and integer overflow to -fno-range-check.

2006-09-30  Brooks Moses  <bmoses@stanford.edu>

	* invoke.texi:  Add mention of BOZ constants and integer
	overflow to -fno-range-check.

+Attempts to use a BOZ literal constant to do a bitwise initialization of a
+variable can lead to confusion.  A BOZ literal constant is converted to an
+@code{INTEGER} value with the kind type with the largest decimal representation,
+and this value is then converted numerically to the type and kind of the
+variable in question.  Thus, one should not expect a bitwise copy of the BOZ
+literal constant to be assigned to a @code{REAL} variable.
+
+Similarly, initializing an @code{INTEGER} variable with a statement such as
+@code{DATA i/Z'FFFFFFFF'/} will produce an integer overflow rather than the
+desired result of @math{-1} when @code{i} is a 32-bit integer on a system that
+supports 64-bit integers.  The @samp{-fno-range-check} option can be used as 
+a workaround for legacy code that initializes integers in this manner.
