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.
