I am a bit confused.
Can you please clarify:

I did have a SIMPLE_IPA_PASS and the dump file contained "wpa" in it.

I did place my pass in the IPA pipeline rather than the all_late_ipa_passes
one.
Are SIMPLE_IPA_PASSes normally used in the all_late_ipa_passes which
means they are normally scheduled to run at LTRANS time? However, if
I place my SIMPLE_IPA_PASS during the IPA pipeline, then my SIMPLE_IPA_PASS
will execute at "WPA" stage?

So, if SIMPLE_IPA_PASSes are placed in the IPA pipeline, is there a
reason why `cgraph_node::get_untransformed_body` would crash?
Thanks again!
