Ah thanks that makes sense. The only thing I am still wondering about:  if no machine passes are run, `MachineDominatorTree::verifyAnalysis` or `MachineDominatorTree::verifyDomTree` shouldn't be called in the first place, no?



================
Comment at: lib/CodeGen/MachineDominators.cpp:142
 void MachineDominatorTree::verifyDomTree() const {
+  if (!DT)
+    return;
----------------
Would this change here in combination with moving the allocation of the dominator tree to runOnMachineFunction be enough to skip the verification in cases runOnMachineFunction is not executed?

The change to use unique_ptr might be a worthwhile refactoring, but it looks like most of the changes in this patch are related to the change to unique_ptr instead of skipping the dominator tree verification. I think it would make it easier for reviewers if the patch would only contain the changes required to skip the dominator tree verification.
