        <pre>Ancient commit rL269828/rL269949

scan-build is complaining that the 'AmountReg' is written to but never read:

  unsigned AmountReg = MI->getOperand(0).getReg();
  MI->eraseFromParent();

  // Delete the definition of AmountReg, possibly walking a chain of copies.
  for (;;) {
    if (!MRI->use_empty(AmountReg))
      break;
    MachineInstr *AmountDef = MRI->getUniqueVRegDef(AmountReg);
    if (!AmountDef)
      break;
    if (AmountDef->isCopy() && AmountDef->getOperand(1).isReg())
      AmountReg = AmountDef->getOperand(1).isReg();
    AmountDef->eraseFromParent();
    break;
  }

I have no experience with this code, but the comment mentions walking the
copies, so should it be doing something like this?

    if (AmountDef->isCopy() && AmountDef->getOperand(1).isReg()) {
      AmountReg = AmountDef->getOperand(1).isReg();
      continue;
    }</pre>
