When asserts are enabled, this adds a verification pass for PPC counter-loop formation. Unfortunately, without sacrificing code quality, there is no better way of forming counter-based loops except at the (late) IR level. This means that we need to recognize, at the IR level, anything which might turn into a function call (or indirect branch). Because this is currently a finite set of things, and because SelectionDAG lowering is basic-block local, this can be done. Nevertheless, it is fragile, and failure results in a miscompile. This verification pass checks that all (reachable) counter-based branches are dominated by a loop mtctr instruction, and that no instructions in between clobber the counter register. If these conditions are not satisfied, then an ICE will be triggered. In short, this is to help us sleep better at night. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@182295 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
