If you add bar checks, it will do so.

\version "2.19.80"
\relative { d4  cis8  c8  b8. ais8  a  gis | }
  

This will generate a warning, because you place a bar-check character at what 
you think is the end of the bar, and it's actually 1/16 into the next bar.

That's all you need to do to get the warning you desire.

HTH,
