            Bug ID: 40031
           Summary: __builtin_unpredictable is horridly broken--
           Product: clang
           Version: 7.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: erich.keane at intel.com

Mostly a note for the future, though others are welcome to take this.

__builtin_unpredictable doesn't work for while/dowhile/for because the place it
dealt with isn't called from them.  The function to Emit a Bool Branch should
be used by the other 3 as well.

Additionally, __builtin_unpredictable is implemented IN an emit function,
rather than in its CodeGenFunction emit call.  Likely, it should be changed to
also use the above emit function, then tag the branch after the fact (or bubble
it downward to the branch create spot).
