The purpose of refactoring is to hide operand roles from SwitchInst user (programmer). If you want to play with operands directly, probably you will need lower level methods than SwitchInst ones (TerminatorInst or may be User). After this patch we can reorganize SwitchInst operands and successors as we want.
What was done:
1. Changed semantics of index inside the getCaseValue method:
getCaseValue(0) means "get first case", not a condition. Use getCondition() if you want to resolve the condition. I propose don't mix SwitchInst case indexing with low level indexing (TI successors indexing, User's operands indexing), since it may be dangerous.
2. By the same reason findCaseValue(ConstantInt*) returns actual number of case value. 0 means first case, not default. If there is no case with given value, ErrorIndex will returned.
3. Added getCaseSuccessor method. I propose to avoid usage of TerminatorInst::getSuccessor if you want to resolve case successor BB. Use getCaseSuccessor instead, since internal SwitchInst organization of operands/successors is hidden and may be changed in any moment.
4. Added resolveSuccessorIndex and resolveCaseIndex. The main purpose of these methods is to see how case successors are really mapped in TerminatorInst.
4.1 "resolveSuccessorIndex" was created if you need to level down from SwitchInst to TerminatorInst. It returns TerminatorInst's successor index for given case successor.
4.2 "resolveCaseIndex" converts low level successors index to case index that curresponds to the given successor.

present in the bottom of the CFG triangle, as the transformation isn't
ever valuable if the branch can't be eliminated.
Also, unify some heuristics between SimplifyCFG's multiple
if-converters, for consistency.
This fixes rdar://10627242.

code can incorrectly move the load across a store. This never
happens in practice today, but only because the current
heuristics accidentally preclude it.

into Analysis as a standalone function, since there's no need for
it to be in VMCore. Also, update it to use isKnownNonZero and
other goodies available in Analysis, making it more precise,
enabling more aggressive optimization.

In theory this could be extended to other instructions, eg. division by zero, but it's likely that it will "miscompile" some code because people depend on div by zero not trapping. NULL pointer dereference usually leads to a crash so we should be on the safe side.
This shrinks the size of a Release clang by 16k on x86_64.

This commit includes a mention of the landingpad instruction, but it's not
changing the behavior around it. I think the current behavior is correct,
though. Bill, can you double-check that?

In cases such as the attached test, where the case value for a switch
destination is used in a phi node that follows the destination, it
might be better to replace that value with the condition value of the
switch, so that more blocks can be folded away with
TryToSimplifyUncondBranchFromEmptyBlock because there are less
conflicts in the phi node.

then we don't want to set the destination in the indirect branch to the
destination. This is because the indirect branch needs its destinations to have
had their block addresses taken. This isn't so of the new critical edge that's
split during this process. If it turns out that the destination block has only
one predecessor, and that being a BB with an indirect branch, then it won't be
marked as 'used' and may be removed.

I also changed -simplifycfg, -jump-threading and -codegenprepare to use this to produce slightly better code without any extra cleanup passes (AFAICT this was the only place in -simplifycfg where now-dead conditions of replaced terminators weren't being cleaned up). The only other user of this function is -sccp, but I didn't read that thoroughly enough to figure out whether it might be holding pointers to instructions that could be deleted by this.

instruction around, reducing work.
Greatly simplify handling of debug instructions. There is no need to
build up a vector of them and then move them into the one predecessor
if we're processing a block. Instead just rescan the block and *copy*
them into the pred. If a block gets merged into multiple preds, this
will retain more debug info.
