Right - the point made in r136180 is that it's UB to run the code, but
not erroneous to have the code, which sounds like a perfect case for
llvm_unreachable, if it's practical to emit it in this case.

Unless you're saying real-world code is depending on the specific
current behavior of LLVM when that code is executed (ie: they're
actually invoking UB & depending on it doing something in particular)
which sounds highly dodgy, but I wouldn't put it past someone. I'm not
sure what the LLVM/clang project's stance on such situations is.
