Description

When using a try-finally block in methods with return values then it creates a VerifyError on execution. The following script creates this output:

boolean foo () {
try

{ print "try" return true }

finally

{ print "finally" }

}

foo ()

Output: eddie@saringnb:~$ groovy test.groovy
Caught: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: test, method: foo signature: ()Z) Expecting to find object/array on stack

The problem doesn't exists when foo would return void.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
