Question

Consider the following code:

@try {
  if (something.notvalid)
  {
    return;
  }
  // do something else
} @catch (NSException *ex) {
  // handle exception
} @finally {
  NSLog(@"finally!");
}

If something is not valid and I return from within the try, does the code in @finally execute or not? I believe that it should but others I’ve spoken to don’t think so and I’m unable to test this at the moment.

Answer 1

@finally code always executes according to here and here.

A @finally block contains code that
must be executed whether an exception
is thrown or not.
