+    if (Parent == Pred2->getSinglePredecessor())

Agreed. However, in your example the discussed situation doesn't happen as well. The thing is that JumpTheading will merge Parent and pred blocks before it gets to BB and runs into that crash. I will try to construct a test that reproduces the problem.

Anna, do you have a simple test where this crash happens? I'd appreciate if you provided it.
