@nikic okay I did some more analysis, so what is happening is. PruningFunctionCloner clones the basic blocks from function to be inlined into the caller function. While doing so, it handles terminator instructions like Switch/Branch, but it doesn't specially handle the Ret ones (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/313a33b9dff44dc2b0048484e54f9328d9a0d9db/llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils/CloneFunction.cpp#L587), and clones it into the new function which has NoUndef attribute, so ideally this clone is illegal.
It becomes especially tricky as to how to handle it, given this return void statement has no successor.
