           Summary: Anders pass can produce miscompiled code
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: miscompilation
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Global Analyses
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

The attached bitcode is a little strange.  It's the result of combining a small
expression language with llvm.  The expression language uses dynamic_cast while
building up expressions, and I've inlined the gcc code for dynamic_cast.  I
expect the bitcode will only work when it is attached to the gnu tool chain
because it includes references to the GNU C++ runtime.

The expected (and correct) output of the attached bitcode is an empty file.
After running it through the anders pass, it incorrectly throws an exception. 
Here is what I'm talking about:

Macintosh:GQ robertzeh$ lli bad-2.bc
Macintosh:GQ robertzeh$ 

Fine, life is good.  Now I try to apply the anders pass along with a few other
pieces of code:
Macintosh:GQ robertzeh$ opt -f -anders-aa -load-vn -gcse -die bad-2.bc -o
bad-bad-2.bc
Macintosh:GQ robertzeh$ lli bad-bad-2.bc

The problem isn't with the exception handling --- the problem is that the code
shouldn't be trying to throw an exception.

After running things through bugpoint (where happyOutput is an empty file):
bugpoint -run-cbe -anders-aa -load-vn -gcse -die bad-2.bc --output happyOutput

....
*** The following function is being miscompiled: 
main__ZN1Q13SememeFactory9CreateAddEPNS_6SememeES2_i_2E_exit_2E_ce
<cbe><gcc>You can reproduce the problem with the command line: 
  lli -load ./bugpoint.safe.bc-CtCTaP.cbe.c.dylib bugpoint.test.bc-wYsqlo
The shared object was created with:
  llc -march=c bugpoint.safe.bc-CtCTaP -o temporary.c
  gcc -xc temporary.c -O2 -o ./bugpoint.safe.bc-CtCTaP.cbe.c.dylib -shared
-fno-strict-aliasing
Macintosh:GQ robertzeh$ 

The bugpoint reduced bitcode is only 2 bytes shorter, so I've attached the
original.
