I think the current implementation of "operator_bitwise_xor::wi_fold ()" in
range-op.cc was simply ported from the original version we used in the old VRP
code. so it is neither multi-range awre, nor been enhanced.
If you put a break point there, you'll see its getting:
(gdb) p lh_lb.dump()
[0], precision = 32
$1 = void
(gdb) p lh_ub.dump()
[0x32], precision = 32
$2 = void
(gdb) p rh_ub.dump()
[0x3f], precision = 32
$3 = void
(gdb) p rh_lb.dump()
[0x3f], precision = 32
$4 = void
One could conceivable do something much better than the general masking stuff
that goes on if rh_lb == rh_ub. I suspect we could probably do a better job in
general, but have never looked at it.
It also looks like we make some minor attempts with signed values in
wi_optimize_signed_bitwise_op (), but again, I do not think anyone has tried
to make this code do anything new yet.
