The -frange-check option is documented in invoke.texi.
Jerry implemented the option to permit Inf and NaN
to be computed (e.g., "real :: x = 1. / 0."). During
constant folding, the Inf would trigger an overflow
error.
There is a section in gfortran.texi that describes
gfortran-specific extensions involving BOZ constants.
You may want to read this text and perhaps add a blurb
about -fno-range-check.
