When the BasicBlock containing the return instrution has a PHI with 2
incoming values, FoldReturnIntoUncondBranch will remove the no longer
used incoming value and remove the no longer needed phi as well. This
leaves us with a BB that no longer has a PHI, but the subsequent call
to FoldReturnIntoUncondBranch from FoldReturnAndProcessPred will not
remove the return instruction (which still uses the result of the call
instruction). This prevents EliminateRecursiveTailCall to remove
the value, as it is still being used in a basicblock which has no
predecessors.
The basicblock can not be erased on the spot, because its iterator is
still being used in runTRE.
This issue was exposed when removing the threshold on size for lifetime
marker insertion for named temporaries in clang. The testcase is a much
reduced version of peelOffOuterExpr(const Expr*, const ExplodedNode *)
from clang/lib/StaticAnalyzer/Core/BugReporterVisitors.cpp.
