//===- UnifyFunctionExitNodes.cpp - Make all functions have a single exit -===//
//
// This pass is used to ensure that functions have at most one return
// instruction in them.  Additionally, it keeps track of which node is the new
// exit node of the CFG.  If there are no exit nodes in the CFG, the getExitNode
// method will return a null pointer.
