Right, ranger isn't propagating anything. It's the substitute_and_fold engine,
as it always has, but only if value_of_expr() is non-NULL. Currently this
function will only return non-NULL for singletons:
tree
range_query::value_of_expr (tree expr, gimple *stmt)
{
tree t;
if (!Value_Range::supports_type_p (TREE_TYPE (expr)))
return NULL_TREE;
Value_Range r (TREE_TYPE (expr));
if (range_of_expr (r, expr, stmt))
{
// A constant used in an unreachable block oftens returns as UNDEFINED.
// If the result is undefined, check the global value for a constant.
if (r.undefined_p ())
range_of_expr (r, expr);
if (r.singleton_p (&t))
return t;
}
return NULL_TREE;
}
