LLVM Regions after SplitEdge

Hi,

I have the following CFG.

Regions for this CFG are.
[0] entry => if.end12
[1] if.else => if.end

An optimization pass I am working on requires if.then block to be a LLVM region. Therefore I used the SplitEdge function (in BasicBlockUtils) to split the edge if.then → if.end12. Now I have the following CFG,

However my regions are still,
[0] entry => if.end12
[1] if.else => if.end

if.then=>if.then.split is not a region. Can someone explain why this is not a LLVM region? It’s a single entry single exit control flow. Why is it not a region?

Also what is the correct way to recalculate LLVM regions after modifying the controlflow?

Following approach gave me a runtime error when run on the function after splitting the if.then → if.end12 ,

RegionInfo &RI = getAnalysis().getRegionInfo();
DominatorTree &DT = getAnalysis().getDomTree();
DominanceFrontier &DF = getAnalysis().getDominanceFrontier();
PostDominatorTree &PDT = getAnalysis().getPostDomTree();

DT.recalculate(F);
PDT.recalculate(F);
RI.recalculate(F, &DT, &PDT, &DF);

Runtime error,
