// This transformation is designed for use by code generators which do not yet
// support stack unwinding.  This pass converts 'invoke' instructions to 'call'
// instructions, so that any exception-handling 'landingpad' blocks become dead
// code (which can be removed by running the '-simplifycfg' pass afterwards).
