[LLVMdev] Redefining function

[Jeffrey Yasskin]

Hm, I wonder if the error message for llvm_unreachable should change.
I think I remember a couple people focusing incorrectly on the
UNREACHABLE instead of the actual error message above it (which means
it's our fault, not theirs).

Miranda, this is pointing at the same problem you had before. You have
a function JIT-compiled, and you're trying to RAUW
(ReplaceAllUsesWith) it. You'll need to call
freeMachineCodeForFunction(x) before you call
x->replaceAllUsesWith(y).

And yes, putting your code (and a gdb-produced stack trace when
there's a crash) somewhere we can see it (for example, pastebin.com)
will always help us debug problems.
