Inserting BTI instructions can push branch destinations out of range.
The branch relaxation pass itself cannot insert indirect branches since TargetInstrInfo::insertIndirecrtBranch is not implemented for AArch64 (guess +/-128 MB direct branch range is more than enough in practice).
Testing this is a bit tricky.
The original test case we have is 155kloc/6.1M. I've generated a test case using this program:
#include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << R"src(int test(); void g0(), g1(), g2(), g3(), g4(), e(); void f(int v) { if ((test() & 2) == 0) { switch (v) { case 0: g0(); case 1: g1(); case 2: g2(); case 3: g3(); } )src"; const int N = 8176; for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) std::cout << " void h" << i << "();\n"; for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) std::cout << " h" << i << "();\n"; std::cout << R"src( } else { e(); } } )src"; }
which is still a bit too much to commit as a regression test, IMHO.
