Fix #15898
The example in that issue now gives
Deleting unreachable code in
type_annotate!
breaks two assumptions.The jump target of
Expr(:gotoifnot)
might be deleted.This is fixed up in
reindex_labels!
and I think this is the right place.The last expression may not be
Expr(:return)
This is currently only (AFAIK) being relied on in the inlining pass when computing the return value so
I fixed it there. If there are other places where we have this assumption this can also be fixed in the
dead code elimination itself by adding a return at the end although I couldn't figure out what's the
right expression to return in that case...
