Makes sense to me. Note that the alignment summary propagation can be either
handled by doing bitwise constant propagation and/or extending our value ranges
by stride (as described in
http://www.lighterra.com/papers/valuerangeprop/Patterson1995-ValueRangeProp.pdf
I would like it to go eventually away in favour of more generic solution.

Clearly we can propagate thorugh expressions here (PLUS_EXPR). I have run
into similar issue in loop code that builds simple generic expresisons
(like (int)ssa_name+10) and it would be nice to have easy way to deterine
their value range based on the knowledge of SSA_NAME's valur range.

Bit this is fine for initial implementaiotn for sure.

I belive you need to also prevent propagation through functions copmiled with
-fno-ipa-vrp, not only prevent any transformations.

The test of cgraph_local_p seems redundant here. The analysis phase should not determine
anything if function is reachable non-locally.

What is the point of representing range as trees rather than wide ints. Can they
be non-constant integer?

The patch looks good to me otherwise!
