This patch tries to merge duplicate landing pads when they branch to a common shared target.
Given IR that looks like this:
lpad1:
%exn = landingpad {i8*, i32} personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0
cleanup
br label %shared_resume
lpad2:
%exn2 = landingpad {i8*, i32} personality i32 (...)* @__gxx_personality_v0
cleanup
br label %shared_resume
shared_resume:
call void @fn()
ret void
}
We can rewrite the users of both landing pad blocks to use one of them. This will generally allow the shared_resume block to be merged with the common landing pad as well.
Without this change, tail duplication would likely kick in - creating N (2 in this case) copies of the shared_resume basic block.
