Bug 50062 – C-sharp code compiled with pnet does not catch exceptions if there is a nested try/catch following the line throwing the exception and the outer try is not the first line of the method.

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frisby 2004-05-04 20:42:11 UTC]

In a C# class I wrote, one of the methods contains a try/catch, and the try block contains another try/catch.  Between the two "try"s there is a line that can throw an exception.  Unless the outer try is the first line of the method, the outer catch does not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a C# class whose Main method has the following:
1a. a try/catch block inside either the try or the catch of another try/catch;
1b. an exception is thrown in the outer try;
1c. if the inner try/catch is inside the try, it must follow the line that throws the exception; and
1d. at least one line of code precedes the first try.
2. Compile with cscc.
3. Run with ilrun.
Actual Results:  
The exception is not caught.  The program aborts, announcing an "Uncaught
exception".

Expected Results:  
The exception should have been caught and handled by the outer catch.

Created attachment 30762 [details]
Minimal code that demonstrates bug.

This was the smallest class I could write which faithfully reproduces the bug.

This seems to be identical to a bug tracked at Portable .NET's bug tracker:

The bug is now fixed upstream.

The 0.6.6 release (due on the weekend of 29/30 May) will include that fix.

Everything looks good. Thanks for the help.
