Just to reiterate that we are talking about the same thing here:

- https://reviews.llvm.org/D38101 is already merged. 
`-Wtautological-constant-compare` is here.
- There are cases when it warns for some target platform, but not the other, as 
complained in https://reviews.llvm.org/D39149, and post-review mails for 
https://reviews.llvm.org/D38101
- So far it seems all the cases reduce to

  #include <limits>
  #include <cstdint>
  int main() {
    using T1 = long;
    using T2 = int;
  
    T1 r;
    if (r < std::numeric_limits<T2>::min()) {}
    if (r > std::numeric_limits<T2>::max()) {}
  }

- *This* differential (https://reviews.llvm.org/D39462) would find such cases, 
and issue them under different diagnostic, thus reducing the "false-positive" 
(it is an open question whether they are actual false-positives or not) rate of 
`-Wtautological-constant-compare`.

Are you suggesting me to drop this, and implement some other huge new 
diagnostic that may catch such cases before `-Wtautological-constant-compare`, 
thus preventing `-Wtautological-constant-compare` from triggering on that 
completely?
