This patch removes the heuristic in
- Polly :: lib/Support/ScopHelper.cpp
The heuristic forces blocks that directly follow a loop header to not to be considered error blocks.
It was introduced in r249611 with the following commit message:
> This replaces the support for user defined error functions by a
> heuristic that tries to determine if a call to a non-pure function
> should be considered "an error". If so the block is assumed not to be
> executed at runtime. While treating all non-pure function calls as
> errors will allow a lot more regions to be analyzed, it will also
> cause us to dismiss a lot again due to an infeasible runtime context.
> This patch tries to limit that effect. A non-pure function call is
> considered an error if it is executed only in conditionally with
> regards to a cheap but simple heuristic.
In the code below `CCK_Abort2()` would be considered as an error block, but not `CCK_Abort1()` due to this heuristic.
```
for (int i = 0; i < n; i+=1) {
if (ErrorCondition1)
CCK_Abort1(); // No __attribute__((noreturn))
if (ErrorCondition2)
CCK_Abort2(); // No __attribute__((noreturn))
}
```
This does not seem useful. Checking error conditions in the beginning of some work is quite common. It causes a switch default-case to be not considered an error block in SPEC's cactuBSSN. The comment justifying the heuristic mentions a "load", which does not seem to be applicable here. It has been proposed to remove the heuristic.
In addition, the patch fixes the following test cases:
- Polly :: ScopDetect/mod_ref_read_pointer.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/max-loop-depth.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_access_pointee_arguments.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointee_arguments.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointer.ll
- Polly :: ScopInfo/mod_ref_read_pointers.ll
The test cases failed after removing the heuristic.

This might be useful to evaluate the benefit of us handling modref funciton
calls. Also, a new bug that was triggered by modref function calls was
recently reported http://llvm.org/PR27035. To ensure the same issue does not
cause troubles for other people, we temporarily disable this until the bug
is resolved.

Check the ModRefBehaviour of functions in order to decide whether or
not a call instruction might be acceptable.
