Description

The following code produces VerifyError, this can be avoided by either removing try-catch or the call to super()

class A {}

class B extends A {
B() {
super()
try

{ compute() }

catch(RuntimeException e) {
}
}

def compute() {}
}

println B.class

Exception thrown: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: B, method: <init> signature: ()V) Inconsistent stack height 0 != 1
