>>> LandingPads are the only thing that exists for x86_64 Linux while `catchswitch`, `catchpad`, and `cleanuppad` are all for Windows EH (https://llvm.org/docs/ExceptionHandling.html#new-exception-handling-instructions). Without proper testing on Windows I'd advocate for keeping it to LandingPads only.

Clang has `llvm-project/clang/lib/CodeGen/CGException.cpp` for all of it's EH support structure but EH on LLVM is very haphazard (I suspect because outside of correctness there was not much optimization thought put into it).

Otherwise, if we don't want to add another file I would place it in `Function.h/cpp` since technically we can consider this calculating a property of the function.

No, clearly CFG.h operates on a different abstraction level that is unaware of high level concepts like EH. I think we should keep it that way..

I'm not sure this is useful enough to be part of core IR constructs like function/basicblock. Adding its own file seems like a better place than any of the existing ones, though just for one not commonly used function.. That's why I say I don't know :)
