This might be fixed by outstanding prove CLs, but just in case, consider this snippet from math/expm1.go:

	var k int

	// ...

	switch {
	case k == -1:
		return 0.5*(x-e) - 0.5
	case k == 1:
		if x < -0.25 {
			return -2 * (e - (x + 0.5))
		}
		return 1 + 2*(x-e)
	case k <= -2 || k > 56: // suffice to return exp(x)-1
		y := 1 - (e - x)
		y = Float64frombits(Float64bits(y) + uint64(k)<<52) // add k to y's exponent
		return y - 1
	}
	if k < 20 {
		t := Float64frombits(0x3ff0000000000000 - (0x20000000000000 >> uint(k))) // t=1-2**-k
		y := t - (e - x)
		y = Float64frombits(Float64bits(y) + uint64(k)<<52) // add k to y's exponent
		return y
	}

Note the switch case k <= -2 || k > 56. The compiler rewrites this into a single unsigned comparison: uint(x) > 57. See func walkinrange in walk.go.

After the k < 20 check (in particular, when considering uint64(k)<<52, the prove pass has signed limits of [-9223372036854775808, 19] for k and no unsigned limits. But I believe that we should know that k is in [-2, 19].

I might have the culprit/analysis wrong...but in any case, we should know more about uint64(k) here.

Noticed while exploring #25087.

@zdjones does your outstanding CL fix this issue as well?

Punting to 1.14 in any case.

Other prove changes since last year have updated this. It appears the signed limits are correct now. I think we can close this?

After the k < 20, on the true branch, prove currently learns limits for k as signed: [-1,19] and unsigned: [2,18446744073709551614] (not sure the unsigned is correct, haven't looked into). After branching into the k < 20 path, there are no more branches, so prove learns no new facts on that path before returning on line 230.

I've included some extended debugging output below to show where this is from. The first column is the line number in math/expm1.go. V168 is k (int) and v266 is 20 (int constant).

// b73 is the first of the SSA blocks within the k < 20 "Block"
227 Checkpoint: b73 DFS Descending, idom:b56
...
226    parent=b56, update v168 v266 signed <
226    parent=b56, new limits v168 v266 signed < sm,SM,um,UM=-1,19,2,18446744073709551614

229 Checkpoint: b74 DFS Descending, idom:b73

229 Checkpoint: b75 DFS Descending, idom:b74

// b76 is SSA block where the the k < 20 "Block" returns.
230 Checkpoint: b76 DFS Descending, idom:b75

// This is prove walking back up the dominator tree, undoing learned facts that are no longer live.
230 Restore: b76 DFS Descending(simplify)

I suspect this is “fixed” because the walkinrange optimization is broken. #30645

Ha. I'll keep it on my radar until the walkinrange gets fixed, then I'll take another look.
