Thanks for the patch!

Some parts of VRP punt on anti-ranges unless it is of the form ~[a,a], however
turning this into [a+1,TYPE_MAX] should cause no problems, since this is a
range
not an anti-range.

Missing space after "min,".

anit-range! :)

Unfortunately bootstrap dies instantly with

In file included from ../../gcc.fsf.master/gcc/fold-const.c:56:
../../gcc.fsf.master/gcc/tree.h: In function ‘VEC_tree_base_length’:
../../gcc.fsf.master/gcc/tree.h:208: internal compiler error: tree check:
expected integer_type or enumeral_type or boolean_type or real_type, have
pointer_type in fold_comparison, at fold-const.c:8768

Most likely it was a pointer type.  By the way, I guess you're also doing
the folding for floating point types, is that wise?
