+
+; In PR17073 ( http://llvm.org/pr17073 ), we illegally hoisted an operation that can trap.
+; The first test confirms that we don't do that when the trapping op is reached by the current BB (block1).
+; The second test confirms that we don't do that when the trapping op is reached by the previous BB (entry).
+; The third test confirms that we can still do this optimization for an operation (add) that doesn't trap.
+; The tests must be complicated enough to prevent previous SimplifyCFG actions from optimizing away
+; the instructions that we're checking for.
