Hi,
The issue here is the inconsistency in computing the `_widen` field of the `TypeInt`. At the first step, the types of the operands are:
t1 = int:0
t2 = int:-2..3, widen = 3
Since the type of the first operand is a constant zero, `AddNode::Value` returns the type of the second operand directly, as `x ^ 0 == x for all x`. In the second step, `t1` is widened to `0..2`. This triggers the real computation of the result. The algorithm then splits `t2` into `t21 = int:-2..-1` and `t22 = int:0..3`. The `Xor` of these with `t1` are `r1 = int:-4..-1` and `r2 = int:0..3`. As both have `_hi - _lo <= SMALL_TYPEINT_THRESHOLD == 3`, their `_widen`s are normalized to `0`. As a result, their `meet` also has `_widen == 0`. This value is smaller than that from the previous step, which was `3`, which leads to the failure.
The root cause here is that, the `_widen` value of a node should be computed and normalized on the whole range of the node, not on its subranges, which may normalize it to `0` in more cases than what is expected. As a result, my proposed solution is to ignore the `_widen` value of the subranges, and pass the expected `_widen` value when composing the final result.
Please take a look and leave your reviews, thanks a lot.
