Is there a reason that BlockExtractorPass is duplicated? See tools/Bugpoint/ExtractFunction.cpp and lib/Transforms/IPO/LoopExtractor.cpp.

Huh, how about that. It looks like bugpoint should use the other one and drop its copy.

Huh, how about that.

This existed to communicate the "blocks to not extract" list via a static variable to the forked bugpoint subprocess. Since bugpoint subprocesses now exec, this form of IPC is no longer possible. I opened http://llvm.org/PR1775 for the matter.

Done.
