Hi all,
[ Note: I haven't read the new language spec, so this is based on my
understanding of the old spec; this point may have been clarified. ]
What happens if a thread hits a runtime exception (out of memory, for example)
in a catch block with a corresponding finally block? Will the finally be
invoked? For example:
try {
foo();
} catch (SomeException e) {
this_and_that(bar[e.idx]);
} finally {
something_else();
}
If bar[e.idx] causes an array bound exception, will something_else()
get run?
