  //    if (ptr == null) { throw_npe(); unreachable; }
  //    if (some_cond) { return 42; }
  //    v = ptr->field;  // LD
  //    ...
  //
  // we cannot (without code duplication) use the load marked "LD" to null check
  // ptr -- clause (2) above does not apply in this case.  In the above program
  // the safety of ptr->field can be dependent on some_cond; and, for instance,
  // ptr could be some non-null invalid reference that never gets loaded from
