EVALUATION In this failure a MemBarNode is the only user of a node through it's Precedent input and the liveness calculation in ifg.cpp doesn't consider precedent edges in the liveness calculation. Because of this the node appears dead and we end up deleting it during post allocation copy removal. It's possible this node is a chain of phis and loads and the dead code elimination can't handle that complex of a dead structure so it ends up hitting asserts. The fix is to modify ifg.cpp to keep the precedent input alive if the membar node is the only user. It's not possible to delete the membar node completely since we have to preserve it's barrier semantics. Tested with failing test case.
