[llvm-dev] branch out of catchpad

[Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev]

I think LLVM supports multiple catchrets, so that should work as long as
they both return to the same parent function/funclet.

However, if you need to branch through multiple levels, you will probably
have to set up an alloca used by a branch at the point of the return. This
is what that would look like:

void f() {
  try { maythrow(); }
  catch (...) {
    try { maythrow(); }
    catch (...) {
      if (condition()) goto out; // need to thread the target through the
cascading returns
      stuff();
    } // IR needs branch here
    stuff();
  } // IR needs branch here
  return 0;
out:
  return 1;
}
