Hum. While definitely two NE_EXPR do not work correctly I'd like
to see a positive test since LT_EXPR doesn't work either? Specifically
the code falls through to test is_value_included_in which seems to
assume code1 == code2.
To me it looks like is_value_includeds comment should be clarified to
say
/* Returns true if all values X satisfying X CMPC VAL satisfy
X CMPC BOUNDARY. */
That is, "all values in the range" in the current comment is under-specified
since VAL is just a single value.
So I wonder what testcases regress if we remove the && code2 != NE_EXPR
case? That way we see what the intention was. A patch should then
change that to
if ((code1 != code2)
|| !(<condition on code1> && code2 == NE_EXPR))
return false;
to explicitely spell out what case was meant here.
