LLVM crash: Basic Block does not have terminator!

The following is minimized from https://crates.io/crates/lalrpop, which is regressed as of nightly-2021-08-15.

fn bump() -> Option<usize> {
    unreachable!()

fn take_until(terminate: impl Fn() -> bool) {
    loop {
        if terminate() {
            return;

Relevant commit range is 5a19ffe...8007b50. Of the 9 landed PRs, the ones that look potentially relevant to codegen are #85020 and #83417. @lrh2000 @tmandry @erikdesjardins @oli-obk

I tried all the merge commits in order of merge:

• d0a10b2: pass
• 32c3f2d: pass
• c6094fc: pass
• 99efc51: pass
• fa26929: pass
• 136eaa1: pass
• a59e885: pass
• e55c13e: pass
• 8007b50: regressed

so that narrows this down to #83417 (@erikdesjardins @oli-obk).

This passes under Miri, so I suspect that we've exposed an LLVM bug.

[dtolnay]

Not sure it's an LLVM bug because it seems the IR is broken even before any LLVM passes. I tried:

$ rustc +nightly-2021-08-14 -Cno-prepopulate-passes --emit=llvm-ir src/main.rs -o before.ll
$ opt before.ll  # ok

$ rustc +nightly-2021-08-15 -Cno-prepopulate-passes --emit=llvm-ir src/main.rs -o after.ll
$ opt after.ll
opt: after.ll:287:1: error: expected instruction opcode
bb1:                                              ; preds = %bb0
^

Before: https://paste.rs/o7U
After: https://paste.rs/ftk
Diff: https://paste.rs/gWL.diff

The main::take_until looks like legitimately broken input IR. Notice the extractvalue insts relocated from the front of bb4 to the end of bb0 (invalidly after the terminator).

What in LLVM is actually running during a -Cno-prepopulate-passes build?

[oli-obk]

I think we should do a quick revert and then figure this out without any pressure

[oli-obk]

the mir changes are

    bb2: {
-        _0 = const ();                   // scope 0 at src/main.rs:8:13: 8:19
-        drop(_1) -> bb5;                 // scope 0 at src/main.rs:13:1: 13:2
+        drop(_1) -> bb4;                 // scope 0 at src/main.rs:13:1: 13:2
    }

    bb3: {
-        _5 = bump() -> [return: bb4, unwind: bb6]; // scope 0 at src/main.rs:10:13: 10:19
+        _5 = bump() -> [return: bb0, unwind: bb5]; // scope 0 at src/main.rs:10:13: 10:19
                                         // mir::Constant
                                         // + span: src/main.rs:10:13: 10:17
                                         // + literal: Const { ty: fn() -> std::option::Option<usize> {bump}, val: Value(Scalar(<ZST>)) }
-    }
-
-    bb4: {
-        goto -> bb0;                     // scope 0 at src/main.rs:6:5: 12:6
    }

that seems totally reasonable, so we need to check what codegen_llvm makes of it
