We expand to RTL from the optimal <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: # RANGE [0, 255] NONZERO 255 _1 = MIN_EXPR <x_2(D), 255>; # RANGE [0, 255] NONZERO 255 _3 = (unsigned int) _1; return _3; but that produces (insn 10 6 9 (set (reg:HI 88) (const_int 255 [0xff])) "x.c":1:56 -1 (nil)) (insn 9 10 11 (set (reg:CC 17 flags) (compare:CC (reg/v:HI 84 [ x ]) (const_int 255 [0xff]))) "x.c":1:56 -1 (nil)) (insn 11 9 12 (set (reg:HI 87) (if_then_else:HI (leu (reg:CC 17 flags) (const_int 0 [0])) (reg/v:HI 84 [ x ]) (reg:HI 88))) "x.c":1:56 -1 (nil)) (insn 12 11 13 (set (reg:SI 86) (zero_extend:SI (reg:HI 87))) "x.c":1:61 -1 (nil)) given fort the (unsigned int) _1 zero-extension we don't have any other representation on GIMPLE to elide the zero-extension. I'm also not sure if (subreg:SI (reg:HI 87)) would be correct in all cases. Marking rtl-optimization but eventually it's also a target issue. We also don't have anything like a reg-note to tell ranges of a set? Anyway, even on RTL the range of reg:HI 87 is clearly visible.
