If we have a function like this:
void bork() { int *address = 0; *address = 0; } It's compiled into LLVM code that looks like this: define void @bork() noreturn nounwind { entry: unreachable } This is bad on some platforms (like PPC) because it will generate the label for the function but no body. The label could end up being associated with some non-code related stuff, like a section. This places a "trap" instruction if the SimplifyCFG pass removed all code from the function leaving only one "unreachable" instruction. llvm-svn: 46387
