Extended Description

===================================== void entry(void) { for (unsigned i = 0; i != 10; i += 1) { if (i == 1) break; } }

expected output:

@​entry with body deleted

actual output:

hint: if you change it to i < 10 then the optimizer generates the desired output.

This is a limitation of ScalarEvolution, specifically ScalarEvolution::computeExitLimit. SimplifyCFG turns the comparisons into a switch, and computeExitLimit doesn't handle a switch with multiple values that exit the loop. Because ScalarEvolution can't compute the trip count, LoopDeletion is conservative and refuses to delete the loop. Probably easy to improve.
