我正在为一个朋友检查一些代码,并说他在try-finally块中使用了return语句。即使try块的其余部分没有触发,Finally部分中的代码仍然会触发吗?

例子:

public bool someMethod()
{
  try
  {
    return true;
    throw new Exception("test"); // doesn't seem to get executed
  }
  finally
  {
    //code in question
  }
}

当前回答

通常是的,最终会运行。

对于以下三种情况,finally将始终运行:

No exceptions occur Synchronous exceptions (exceptions that occur in normal program flow). This includes CLS compliant exceptions that derive from System.Exception and non-CLS compliant exceptions, which do not derive from System.Exception. Non-CLS compliant exceptions are automatically wrapped by the RuntimeWrappedException. C# cannot throw non-CLS complaint exceptions, but languages such as C++ can. C# could be calling into code written in a language that can throw non-CLS compliant exceptions. Asynchronous ThreadAbortException As of .NET 2.0, a ThreadAbortException will no longer prevent a finally from running. ThreadAbortException is now hoisted to before or after the finally. The finally will always run and will not be interrupted by a thread abort, so long as the try was actually entered before the thread abort occurred.

下面的场景,最后将不会运行:

Asynchronous StackOverflowException. As of .NET 2.0 a stack overflow will cause the process to terminate. The finally will not be run, unless a further constraint is applied to make the finally a CER (Constrained Execution Region). CERs should not be used in general user code. They should only be used where it is critical that clean-up code always run -- after all the process is shutting down on stack overflow anyway and all managed objects will therefore be cleaned-up by default. Thus, the only place a CER should be relevant is for resources that are allocated outside of the process, e.g., unmanaged handles.

通常,非托管代码在被用户代码使用之前由某个托管类包装。托管包装器类通常会使用SafeHandle来包装非托管句柄。SafeHandle实现了一个关键的终结器和一个在CER中运行的Release方法,以保证清理代码的执行。出于这个原因,您不应该看到cer遍布整个用户代码。

因此,finally不运行在StackOverflowException上的事实应该对用户代码没有影响,因为进程无论如何都会终止。如果你有一些边缘情况,你确实需要清理一些非托管资源,在SafeHandle或CriticalFinalizerObject之外,然后使用CER如下所示;但请注意,这是一种糟糕的做法——非托管概念应该通过设计抽象为托管类和适当的安全句柄。

例如,

// No code can appear after this line, before the try
RuntimeHelpers.PrepareConstrainedRegions();
try
{ 
    // This is *NOT* a CER
}
finally
{
    // This is a CER; guaranteed to run, if the try was entered, 
    // even if a StackOverflowException occurs.
}

其他回答

有一个非常重要的例外,我在其他任何答案中都没有看到过,而且(在用c#编程了18年之后)我不敢相信我不知道。

如果你在catch块中抛出或触发任何类型的异常(不仅仅是奇怪的stackoverflowexception和类似的东西),并且你没有在另一个try/catch块中包含整个try/catch/finally块,你的finally块将不会执行。这很容易证明-如果我没有自己看到它,考虑到我经常读到它只是非常奇怪的,微小的角落情况,可以导致finally块不执行,我不会相信它。

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Beginning demo of how finally clause doesn't get executed");
    try
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Inside try but before exception.");
        throw new Exception("Exception #1");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Inside catch for the exception '{ex.Message}' (before throwing another exception).");
        throw;
    }
    finally
    {
        Console.WriteLine("This never gets executed, and that seems very, very wrong.");
    }

    Console.WriteLine("This never gets executed, but I wasn't expecting it to."); 
    Console.ReadLine();
}

我相信这是有原因的,但奇怪的是,它并没有广为人知。(例如,这里提到了,但在这个特定的问题中没有提到。)

通常情况下,是的。finally部分保证执行发生的任何事情,包括异常或返回语句。该规则的异常是线程上发生的异步异常(OutOfMemoryException, StackOverflowException)。

要了解在这种情况下异步异常和可靠代码的更多信息,请阅读约束执行区域。

这里有一个小测试:

class Class1
{
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("before");
        Console.WriteLine(test());
        Console.WriteLine("after");
    }

    static string test()
    {
        try
        {
            return "return";
        }
        finally
        {
            Console.WriteLine("finally");
        }
    }
}

结果是:

before
finally
return
after

引用自MSDN

Finally用于保证执行语句代码块,而不管前面的try块是如何退出的。

我意识到我迟到了,但在确实抛出异常的场景(与OP的示例不同)中,MSDN声明(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zwc8s4fz.aspx):“如果没有捕获异常,finally块的执行取决于操作系统是否选择触发异常unwind操作。”

The finally block is only guaranteed to execute if some other function (such as Main) further up the call stack catches the exception. This detail is usually not a problem because all run time environments (CLR and OS) C# programs run on free most resources a process owns when it exits (file handles etc.). In some cases it may be crucial though: A database operation half underway which you want to commit resp. unwind; or some remote connection which may not be closed automatically by the OS and then blocks a server.
