Summary

For a given loop, getLoopLatch returns a non-null value
when a loop has only one latch block. In the modified
context adding an assertion to check that both the outgoing branches of
a terminator instruction (of latch) does not target same header.
+
few minor code reorganization.

Can you please add an assert here that BI->getSuccessor(0) != BI->getSuccessor(1)? That way we'll know to update this place if/when getLoopLatch() becomes smarter.

I guess we will have to look at all the places from where a call to getLoopLatch is made, adding such an assert at one place does not looks reasonable.

I'm not sure I agree. Here we rely on BI->getSuccessor(0) != BI->getSuccessor(1) implied from getLoopLatch() for correctness, and asserting that precondition seems like an incremental improvement, irrespective of what we do for the other places.

Secondly, I don't think asserting BI->getSuccessor(0) != BI->getSuccessor(1) everywhere we call getLoopLatch() is a good idea anyway. We should assert BI->getSuccessor(0) != BI->getSuccessor(1) where it matters to the code that called getLoopLatch(), not to all places that call getLoopLatch().
