IIUC, when we say range 1 to 10 we allow values from 1 to 9. Here we are
allowing a=10 be stored in p1 Is it okay?

I got the following warning on compiling:
partition.c: In function ‘make_partition_op_expr’:
partition.c:1267:2: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  return result;
