Description

When a return statement is used inside a try block, the program fails if the return value is a primitive type.

The following program reproduces the problem:

class Test {
   int method() {
      try {
         return 1
      }  finally {
         print "Do something"
      }
   }
	
   static void main(args) {
      new Test().method()
   }
}

The following error message is generated:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: Test, method: method signature: ()I) Expecting to find object/array on stack
Exception in thread "main"
