Summary

This makes -Wunreachable-code work for programs containing SEH (except for __finally, which is still missing for now).

__try is modeled like try (but simpler since it can only have a single __except or __finally), __except is fairly similar to catch (but simpler, since it can't contain declarations). __leave is implemented similarly to break / continue.

Use the existing addTryDispatchBlock infrastructure (which FindUnreachableCode() in ReachableCode.cpp uses via cfg->try_blocks_begin()) to mark things in the __except blocks as reachable.

Re-use TryTerminatedBlock. This means we add EH edges from calls to the __try block, but not from all other statements. While this is incomplete, it matches LLVM's SEH codegen support. Also, in practice, BuildOpts.AddEHEdges is always false in practice from what I can tell, so we never even insert the call EH edges either.

Don't add any EH edges to the CFG for SEH. In practice, BuildOpts.AddEHEdges is always false in practice from what I can tell, and with SEH every single stmt would have to get an EH edge.

Since we can't mix C++ EH and SEH, do you think it would be better to reuse the TryTerminatedBlock chain so that we get edges from every call to the __except? That's the approximation of SEH that we actually support in LLVM anyway.

Just use TryTerminatedBlock

(this is now a no-op and only a clang-formatting of the existing ctor code. I can omit this if you want.)

Looks functionally correct

Can we add a test to exercise that this builds the right CFG?

__try {
  __try {
    f();
  } __except(1) {
    __leave; // should exit outer try
  }
  __leave;
  f(); // expected-warning{{never be executed}}
} __except(1) {
}

Looks good!

Sure. Did you intentionally put two leaves in there, or do you only want the one in the inner except?

I think both are required to trigger the warning in case f() doesn't throw, but I could be wrong.

I woke up this morning and realized what you meant. Is there another way we can check that leave in except exits the outer __try?
